The Narodna Banka Kraljevine Jugoslavije — the National Bank of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia — came into being only in 1929, the same year this note was issued, following Alexander I's abolition of the parliamentary system in January and the renaming of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The new bank name was as much a political declaration as a financial institution: the word "Jugoslavije" had never appeared on banknotes before.
The 1929 series was printed by the American Bank Note Company. Surviving examples frequently show foxing along the edges, a known condition tendency for this issue.
