Reverse description A young Serbian man in traditional national costume — including a characteristic hat and opanak peasant shoes — stands to the right, holding a cluster of intertwined fruits in his right hand and leaning against a stylized shield whose coat of arms has been overprinted as no longer valid. Three sailing ships depicted at sea in the background are likewise obscured by overprint, consistent with the 1941 occupation-era modification of the note.

Comments

This note was issued under the German-backed puppet administration installed after the April 1941 invasion and rapid collapse of Yugoslavia. The Serbian National Bank continued to function under occupation, but its emissions from this period were tightly controlled by German military authorities, who used the local currency apparatus partly to extract resources from Serbia through occupation costs levied on the population.

The plate design predates the occupation — Fraipont's work and Deloche's engraving were carried over from earlier interwar emissions, which is why the note looks institutionally continuous with pre-war Serbian issues despite the radically different political circumstances of its production at ZIN.
