Bosnia's 1996 gold issues were struck while the country was still emerging from the 1992–1995 war, and the National Bank was operating under extraordinary international supervision following the Dayton Agreement. The goosander series was part of a broader wildlife commemorative program almost certainly aimed at foreign collector markets rather than domestic circulation — hard currency was scarce and the convertible mark had not yet been introduced to replace the wartime dinar.
The dinar itself was effectively obsolete within two years of this coin's issue, replaced in 1998 by the Convertible Mark pegged to the Deutschmark.
