| Comments |
The convertible mark was introduced in 1998 under the Dayton Agreement's financial architecture, pegged at parity to the Deutsche Mark and subsequently locked to the euro at 1.95583 — a rate it still holds, enforced by a currency board arrangement that legally prohibits the Central Bank from extending credit to the state or commercial banks. That constraint was deliberate: after the monetary chaos of the Yugoslav collapse and wartime parallel currencies, the whole point was to remove discretion from the equation entirely.
Oberthur's Chantepie facility printed this series. The 2007–2008 dating reflects a rolling print run rather than a design revision.
