The convertible mark was introduced in 1998 as part of the Dayton Agreement's economic framework, pegged at parity to the Deutsche Mark and later locked to the euro at 1.95583 KM — a rate it still holds. The currency's design mandate was politically delicate from the start: no portraits of historical figures, no national symbols that could be read as favoring Bosniaks, Croats, or Serbs. The result was an architecture-focused series, largely uncontroversial by design.
Oberthur's Chantepie facility has handled Bosnian banknote production across multiple series, making this one of the longer continuous relationships between a central bank and a single French security printer in the post-Yugoslav region.
