| Opmerkingen |
The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes had barely been proclaimed when the Ministry of Finance turned to Zagreb's Hrvatska državna tiskara to produce emergency fractional notes — the new state had no central bank and no unified currency apparatus yet. These small-denomination pieces filled an acute coin shortage in the chaotic months following unification in December 1918.
Menci Clement Crnčić, primarily known as a painter and graphic artist associated with Croatian modernism, designed the series. An unusual choice: a fine artist rather than a professional banknote engraver, which shows in the aesthetic priorities of the work.
Pick lists this as P#11 within a fractional series that also covered 1/4 and 1 Dinar values, all produced under the same constrained wartime-surplus printing conditions.
