| Comments |
Slovenia's first banknote issue came within days of the June 1991 independence declaration, before any permanent currency infrastructure was in place. These provisional tolars were printed domestically under rushed conditions — the equipment and quality controls were a significant step below what the series would later achieve, and it shows in the ink registration on surviving examples.
The tolar replaced the Yugoslav dinar at par during a ten-day war. Getting paper money into circulation fast mattered more than getting it right.
