Novo doba was a Zagreb-based printing house and publisher, not a bank. During the immediate postwar years in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, small-denomination coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absorbed into a chaotic monetary transition — leaving a vacuum that private businesses, municipalities, and cooperatives filled with their own emergency scrip. This note is one of those stopgaps.
Such privately issued notgeld-style tokens had no legal standing but were tolerated by necessity. Redemption was entirely at the issuer's discretion.
