This note was prepared but never released into circulation — the German occupation authorities who controlled the collaborationist Serbian government ultimately issued a different 100 Dinara type through the Serbian National Bank under their supervision. Whether these were destroyed outright or simply held and later pulped is not fully documented, but surviving examples are genuinely scarce precisely because they were never distributed.
Zlamalik, Krnjajić, and Andrejević Kun were all working within Belgrade's pre-war engraving tradition, and this was one of the last projects they completed before the occupation thoroughly disrupted institutional printing.
