| Comments |
Pick 35D belongs to the wartime emergency issues produced under the German occupation government in Serbia — the Narodna Banka Kraljevine Jugoslavije had ceased to function as a genuinely sovereign institution by this point, and notes issued under its name after 1941 were effectively instruments of occupation finance. The 1943 dating places this in the later phase of that arrangement, when the collaborationist administration under Milan Nedić was managing day-to-day Serbian economic life under Axis supervision.
Inflation and hoarding were severe enough that higher denominations circulated heavily and wore quickly. Fine or better survivors are less common than the issue volume might suggest.
