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.
