| Comments |
When Italian forces occupied parts of Yugoslavia in 1941, existing Yugoslav banknotes were overstamped "VERIFICATO" — verified — as a control measure to distinguish currency that had passed through Italian administrative hands. This was not a reissue but a bureaucratic filter, applied to notes already in circulation to track and limit monetary flows in the occupied territories.
The underlying note was engraved by Veljko Andrejević Kun, one of the more accomplished printmakers working in interwar Belgrade. The overprint transforms it into an occupation document as much as a monetary instrument.
