Reverse

To the left and right are allegorical representations of two young women, both in white dresses with a white veil on their heads. The woman on the left holds a sheaf of wheat and a sickle. The woman on the right holds a sword and a shield with the coat of arms of Yugoslavia. Both are holding twigs with the other hand, the left one olive and the right one laurel.
The symbolism is clear: agriculture and work are the guarantors of security that establish, maintain and protect peace and justice.
In the middle below the watermark is a double-headed white eagle with spread wings with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in a shield on the chest.
Grapevine, apples and flowers are shown.

Comments

Released into circulation on January 1, 1933.


The overprint SPECIMEN is french type, specific for the apostrophe on the first letter É and with quotation marks, which no other print of ZIN printer had. Usually is located flush with graphics or at an angle of about 25 degrees, but considering that the overprint is manual, this can vary a lot. Color is purple or red, darker on some bills, on others lighter, depending on the amount of color applied to the matrix. Banknotes are mostly canceled with two diagonal lines on the reverse.
The outer dimensions, from the beginning to the end edges of the overprint, are: width 95.3 mm, height 14 mm, while the distance between the letters is about 3 mm. The height of the letters (without apostrophes) is 9.2 mm for the letters P, E, I, M and N, while the letters S and C are slightly larger - 9.6 mm.
