| Obverse description | An intaglio-engraved bust of a young man is positioned at left against a pale guilloche underprint, serving also as the watermark motif. At centre-right, the circular monogram cipher of the Narodna Banka Jugoslavije is set within a fine guilloche vignette, beneath which the denomination numeral 100 000 000 appears in large bold figures accompanied by the bilingual legend ДИНАРА / DINARA in Cyrillic and Latin script. The bank title is inscribed across the upper field in both scripts, with the denomination repeated vertically along the left margin. |

Yugoslavia's 1993 hyperinflation was among the worst ever recorded — by the time this 100,000,000 dinar note was printed, the monthly inflation rate had exceeded 300 million percent. ZIN in Belgrade was running presses around the clock, and denominations were obsolete almost as soon as they were issued. This note was part of a rapid succession of redenominations that would eventually culminate in the January 1994 "novi dinar," which lopped ten billion off the face value overnight.
The engraving credits — Hrvanović on the obverse, Medecijan and Obradović on the reverse — reflect ZIN's in-house production capacity, unusual for a printer of this size managing such extreme output pressure simultaneously.
