Štamparija Oslobođenje — the printing house whose name translates as "Liberation" — was operating inside besieged Sarajevo when this note was produced in 1993. The siege had begun in April 1992 and would not end until 1996, making this among the very few wartime currency issues in modern European history to be physically printed inside an active combat zone.
The hyperinflationary pressures that necessitated a 100,000 dinar denomination were severe enough that the note was rendered nearly worthless within weeks of issue.
