| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of a young woman in traditional headscarf occupies the left half of the note. At center-right, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia coat of arms — a torch flame surrounded by a wreath dated 29-XI-1943 — is set against a stylized leaf vignette over an elliptical guilloche underprint bearing the large numeral 100. The denomination in four languages appears below the central vignette, and the bank title in Cyrillic and Latin script runs across the top. |

| Comments |
By 1991, Yugoslav federal monetary authority was collapsing in real time. Slovenia and Croatia had already begun breaking away, and the federal dinar was losing credibility faster than ZIN could print replacements. This 100 Dinara note entered circulation during the period when the National Bank of Yugoslavia still nominally issued currency for all six republics, though in practice it was already functioning as a Serbian institution.
The hyperinflationary spiral that would eventually require denominations in the billions was already accelerating — this note became effectively worthless within months of issue.
