| Comments |
This note was issued by the short-lived Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes before the National Bank had been properly constituted — the Ministry of Finance stepped in as the issuing authority out of necessity, a practical consequence of trying to unify monetary systems across territories that had previously used Austro-Hungarian kronen, Serbian dinars, and other currencies simultaneously. The 1919 overprint series was a stopgap, not a planned emission.
The pick numbering reflects how sparse documentation on this issue remains. Surviving examples with clean signatures and legible serial numbers are less common than the catalog presence suggests.
