The Savet za promet robom vlade FNRJ — the Goods Trade Council of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia — was not a bank. It was an administrative body, and its issuance of denominated notes in 1951 reflects the peculiar command-economy machinery Yugoslavia was operating under in the years immediately following the Tito-Stalin split of 1948. These were not banknotes in any conventional sense but rather internal purchasing certificates, likely tied to rationed goods distribution or controlled inter-enterprise settlement, outside the formal monetary system administered by the National Bank.
Yugoslavia's break with the Soviet bloc forced rapid improvisation across multiple economic functions. This note is one byproduct of that improvisation.
