| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on a teal-green guilloche underprint, with a similar radiating lathe-work design filling the centre field. The crowned arms of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina — a shield charged with a hand grasping a sword, surmounted by a royal crown — are positioned at centre within the guilloche. The denomination "STO DINARA / СТО ДИНАРА" appears at the bottom in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, while the issuing republic's name in both scripts is inscribed at upper left; the serial number and prefix are printed vertically at left in red. |

| Comments |
Bosnia's earliest independent currency issues were printed in Slovenia because the republic had no domestic printing facility capable of producing banknotes when war broke out in April 1992. Cetis in Celje, a Slovenian security printer with roots going back to the eighteenth century, supplied several of the first Bosnian notes under difficult logistical conditions — getting paper across a fragmenting Yugoslavia was not straightforward.
Dževad Hozo, the designer, is a Sarajevo-born artist of genuine standing, which distinguishes this issue from the purely functional emergency notes that followed once the siege made outside printing nearly impossible to arrange.
