Front: Geometric guilloche pattern with denomination 1000 in white numerals against blue-purple rosette. Text in four languages (Latin and Cyrillic scripts for Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian) identifies the issuer as Narodna Banka Bosne i Hercegovine. Date '1. JULI - SRPANJ 1992' indicates July 1, 1992 issue. This series was issued during the early period of the Bosnian War (1992–1995) following Bosnia and Herzegovina's declaration of independence from Yugoslavia.

Back: Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Mostar, the iconic 16th-century Ottoman bridge designed by Mimar Hayruddin, a student of the great architect Mimar Sinan. The bridge, built 1557–1566, spanned the Neretva River and stood for 427 years as a masterpiece of Ottoman engineering and a symbol of Mostar. Tragically, it was destroyed by Croatian forces in November 1993 during the Croat-Bosniak War, approximately one year after this banknote was issued. The bridge was reconstructed using original techniques and Ottoman-era stones and reopened in July 2004; it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the First Dinar Issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–1994), introduced after the country declared independence from Yugoslavia in March 1992. The Bosnian Dinar replaced the Yugoslav Dinar at par and circulated during the Bosnian War. Hyperinflation plagued the currency, leading to progressively higher denominations. The depiction of Stari Most is poignant: issued in July 1992, the note immortalizes the bridge just over a year before its destruction in November 1993. The Bosnian Dinar was replaced by the Convertible Mark in 1998 following the Dayton Agreement. Serial number on this note is 20122215, prefix KA.
