Comments

Slovenia's first independent banknote series was issued in October 1991, days after the ten-day war with the Yugoslav People's Army had ended and the country was pushing hard for international recognition. The tolar replaced the Yugoslav dinar at par, and the 1990 date on this note reflects the legislation authorizing the currency rather than the actual print or issue date — a distinction that confuses new collectors regularly.

Cetis in Celje had been a printing house since the eighteenth century and was the logical domestic choice, though producing secure currency in-house was a significant technical leap for a newly independent state. The early tolar notes are notably prone to soiling along the horizontal fold lines from heavy everyday use during a period when banking infrastructure was still being rebuilt.
