| Comments |
Hranilnica Ljubljanske Pokrajine was the savings institution of the Italian-administered Province of Ljubljana, established after Italy's occupation of the Slovenian capital in April 1941. This 1944 note appeared after Italy's September 1943 armistice — by which point the province had passed to German military control — making its bilingual Slovenian-Italian institutional name something of an anachronism still carrying the imprint of the previous occupying authority.
Janez Trpin was a Slovenian graphic artist whose involvement in wartime printing work under occupation remains a complicated chapter in the history of Slovenian applied arts. The watermark is the sole security measure, modest even by the standards of wartime emergency issues.
