The "Provisional Bank of the Republic of Kosovo" never formally operated as a central bank in any recognized sense — this 1999 issue emerged from the political vacuum immediately following the NATO intervention, when the territory had no functioning monetary authority and the Yugoslav dinar was effectively finished as a usable currency. The Deutsche Mark was already circulating as the de facto standard before any institutional framework existed to issue these notes.
The TBB reference places this within a very small series. Genuine circulated examples are harder to document than to find — most surfaced through collector channels rather than through any traceable banking distribution.
