The oldest banknotes issued by the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia
Najstarije novčanice Privilegovane narodne banke Kraljevine Srbije
Abstract
The first paper banknotes of the Privileged National Bank: 100 dinars in gold, 50 dinars in gold and 10 dinars in silver, were placed in circulation in 1884 and 1885. The 100-dinar banknote was put in circulation on 2 July 1884, when the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia commenced its operations. The banknotes, especially the 100- and 50-dinar ones, were issued as temporary, with the major assistance of the Belgium National Bank. Given that until then Serbia only had coins in circulation, the paper 100- and 50-dinar banknotes were met with distrust and for quite a while there were problems in respect of their usage. The shortest lifetime had the 50-dinar banknote, due to its poor quality and consequent easy counterfeiting.
Sažetak
Prve papirnate novčanice Privilegovane narodne banke: 100 dinara u zlatu, 50 dinara u zlatu i 10 dinara u srebru puštene su u promet u 1884. i 1885. godini. Banknota od 100 dinara puštena je u promet 2. jula 1884. godine kada je sa radom počela i Privilegovana narodna banka Kraljevine Srbije. Novčanice, naročito od 100 i 50 dinara, emitovane su kao privremene uz veliku pomoć Belgijske narodne banke. Kako su u Srbiji do tada u opticaju bile samo kovanice, papirnate novčanice od 100 i 50 dinara primljene su sa nepoverenjem i u dužem periodu bilo je problema u njihovom korišćenju. Najkraći vek upotrebe bio je kod novčanice od 50 dinara zbog njene nekvalitetne izrade i lakog falsifikovanja.
