| Comments |
The ZAVNOH note of 1943 is one of the few wartime issues produced by a resistance government while active combat was still ongoing. ZAVNOH — convened for the first time in June 1943 in liberated territory near Otočac — was asserting civil and administrative legitimacy before any postwar settlement had been decided. Issuing currency was part of that claim.
The dual denomination, expressing equivalence between Dinara and Kuna, was a deliberate political gesture: it acknowledged both the prewar Yugoslav monetary system and the NDH currency then in forced circulation, while committing to neither.
