JULI – SRPANJ 1992" below; the original denomination "DESET DINARA / ДЕСЕТ ДИНАРА" remains visible at the lower portion of the note. |

| Comments |
Bosnia's 1993 hyperinflation was among the most severe of the Yugoslav successor-state crises, and denominations escalated so rapidly that notes like this 100,000 Dinar issue became obsolete within weeks of printing. Cetis in Celje — a Slovenian security printer that had supplied the former Yugoslav federal printing needs — became the go-to press for several breakaway republics simultaneously, a logistical situation that strained its capacity and contributed to the relatively thin security feature profile on many Bosnian wartime issues.
The watermark is the sole security element, a notably sparse specification for a note of this face value, reflecting the urgency of production over fraud prevention.
