| Comments |
The 5000 Dinara of 1963 belongs to a series issued just two years before Yugoslavia's sweeping 1965 economic reform, which ultimately redenominated the currency at 100 old dinars to 1 new dinar — rendering notes at this face value essentially worthless overnight. High-denomination issues from this period circulated hard in the years preceding the reform, making genuinely uncirculated survivors uncommon.
Krnjajić's engraving work for ZIN during the 1960s is considered among the finer domestic intaglio output of the period. Yugoslavia's decision to keep production entirely in-house at Belgrade rather than contracting to foreign security printers like De La Rue was a deliberate policy position, not a technical one.
