100 Dinara 2nd coat of arms

Pick 57 represents the second coat of arms type in the 100 Dinara series — a distinction that matters because Serbia's state emblem was modified in 2010 when the crown element was formally standardized, prompting a running design change mid-series rather than a full reissue. The update was administrative, not driven by a monetary event, which makes the two types easy to conflate without careful examination of the arms detail.

ZIN in Topčider has handled Serbian note production continuously since the interwar period, one of the few state security printers in the Balkans to have survived nationalization, war, and hyperinflation without a complete institutional break.
