Issued on 1 July 1992 by the National Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this 100 Dinara note is part of the first currency series following the country’s declaration of independence. The obverse features a stylized guilloché pattern in olive-green on a dull black underprint, with the denomination “100” prominently displayed. The reverse showcases the national coat of arms, a crowned shield with a sword, positioned at the center-right. The note measures 145 × 73 mm and lacks a security thread, but includes a diamond-pattern watermark for authenticity.
