| Comments |
The Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia was established by law in 1883, and this 100 Dinara note belongs to its first complete series of emission — printed in Paris by Paul Dujardin, who was both the engraver and the proprietor of the press. That dual role was unusual and produced a tighter consistency between design intention and intaglio execution than was common in contracted note printing of the period.
Charles Camille Chazal, the designer, had strong connections to French academic engraving circles. The dinar itself had only been fixed to the gold standard in 1878, so this note arrived into a monetary system barely six years old.
