| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by an elaborate blue and pink guilloche underprint radiating from a central vignette of the large numeral "50" in bold intaglio, set within intersecting elliptical lathe-work patterns. A fleur-de-lis emblem — the coat of arms symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina — appears in the upper centre-right area, with the bilingual issuer inscription in Latin and Cyrillic scripts occupying the upper right. The denomination in both scripts is printed along the lower margin, with a secondary numeral "50" counter in the lower right corner. |

| Comments |
Bosnia declared independence in April 1992, and the new National Bank moved quickly to establish a domestic currency to replace the Yugoslav dinar still circulating across the territory. Thomas De La Rue printed the full run of 12,175,000 notes, but the series was never formally released — the wartime banking infrastructure simply could not support a clean currency introduction while Sarajevo remained under siege.
The entire stock is believed to have been held in reserve and ultimately not distributed through normal channels, which is why uncirculated examples dominate the market entirely. There are no known used specimens.
