The Konvertibilna Marka was introduced in 1998 as part of the Dayton Agreement's economic provisions, pegged first to the Deutsche Mark and then, automatically, to the Euro at the fixed rate of 1 KM to 0.511292 EUR — a peg the Central Bank is legally prohibited from abandoning without a constitutional amendment. That rigidity was the point: the currency was designed to be politically untamperable, a hard constraint imposed on a state whose two constituent entities had been printing separate wartime currencies as recently as 1995.
Oberthur's Chantepie facility produced this 2007–2009 series run. The security specification for this denomination is notably lean — watermark and thread only, without the optically variable ink or color-shifting features found on higher-value notes in the same issue.
