| Opmerkingen |
Pick 5 was the largest denomination in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes' first paper money series — issued by the Ministry of Finance rather than a central bank, because no such institution yet existed. The new state, proclaimed in December 1918, needed circulating currency almost immediately and had neither the infrastructure nor the time to establish a proper bank of issue before these notes went out.
The series was produced by overprinting and adapting existing material rather than commissioning entirely new designs — a pragmatic shortcut for a government still assembling itself. Counterfeiting was a documented problem with this issue, and authentication difficulties were reported within the first year of circulation.
