| Comments |
The Okrožni NOO za Baško was one of dozens of district-level partisan administrative committees operating in the Slovenian Littoral under the broader Yugoslav Liberation Front structure. These local committees issued emergency currency out of necessity — German and Italian-backed money was being actively rejected in liberated and semi-liberated zones, and partisan units needed a medium of exchange that didn't fund the occupation. The 400-lir denomination is an odd figure, almost certainly reflecting the practical arithmetic of a specific local obligation rather than any designed currency hierarchy.
Security amounted to an official committee stamp — thin protection, but counterfeiting partisan scrip was not a pressing concern for anyone with access to real printing facilities.
