| Comments |
Printed at Oslobođenje's Sarajevo facility in 1992, this note was produced under siege conditions — the city was surrounded and under shelling by the time the National Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina was issuing its first independent currency. Oslobođenje, primarily a newspaper publisher, was pressed into banknote production out of necessity, not design. The plant continued operating through the siege, famously never missing a daily edition throughout the entire conflict.
Paper and ink supplies were intermittent, and quality varies considerably across surviving examples as a direct result of wartime shortages rather than inconsistent printing standards.
