The Kingdom of Yugoslavia did not yet exist in 1920 — the state was formally named the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes until 1929, when Alexander I's royal dictatorship brought the renaming. Notes of this series, though retroactively catalogued under the Yugoslav issuer, were produced during a period of acute monetary instability as the new state struggled to unify the currencies of its constituent territories, including the Serbian dinar, Austro-Hungarian krone, and other regional instruments.
Fraipont was a Belgian commercial artist best known for his poster work; his involvement here points to the note's design originating outside ZIN's in-house capacity. Deloche's engraving is the more technically significant contribution.
