History

First dinar series issued by the National Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, immediately following independence from Yugoslavia on March 1, 1992. This emergency currency was printed during the early stages of the Bosnian War (1992–1995) and suffered from severe hyperinflation. The Bosnian dinar was replaced by the Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark in 1994 at a rate of 1 mark = 100 dinars. These notes circulated for only two years and represent one of the shortest-lived currencies of the post-Yugoslav era. The bilingual text reflects the multi-ethnic character of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
