| Opmerkingen |
The convertible mark was introduced in 1998 as part of the monetary architecture established under the Dayton Agreement, replacing the Bosnian dinar at parity with the German mark — a deliberate political anchor designed to build credibility through external discipline rather than domestic monetary policy. The currency board arrangement meant the Central Bank had almost no discretionary authority; it could issue only what hard currency reserves backed.
This Oberthur-printed 1 KM was prepared but never released into circulation. Low-denomination notes of this type are often casualties of cost-benefit calculations — the expense of printing, distributing, and replacing paper notes at the 1 KM level rarely justifies itself when coins can absorb that function.
