| Comments |
Bosnia's wartime monetary situation in 1993 was a patchwork of competing authorities, and this note reflects exactly that chaos. The underlying National Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina issue was overprinted — handstamped — by individual municipal authorities in Travnik and Sarajevo, a makeshift arrangement driven by the near-total breakdown of central administrative control during the siege and the broader conflict.
The Travnik and Sarajevo handstamps are distinct types and command different collector interest; Travnik examples are generally considered scarcer owing to that city's smaller administrative output during the period.
