| Comments |
The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes had existed for less than two years when this note was issued, and the dual-language authority name printed on it — Serbian Cyrillic and Slovenian Latin — was itself a political act, a deliberate assertion that this was not simply a Greater Serbia with new borders. The Imprimerie Française contract, with engraving by L. Deloche, reflects the new state's dependence on French printing infrastructure during a period when domestic production capacity was nowhere near adequate for a national currency rollout.
P#13A distinguishes this from related issues by signature combination. Worth checking carefully, as misattribution between the 13-series variants is common in older collections.
