Abstract

The National Bank of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia had as many as 16 banknotes designed but never put into circulation. Today these are very rare and a real prize for collectors. Official sources do not give any data at all about these banknotes, except their pictures, and they belong to four distinct groups, three with specimens from
regular circulation and one with specimens from extraordinary circulation for outstanding needs (as publications of the former National Bank of Yugoslavia calls them). Some of these banknotes occasionally appear on the collectors’ market in very small numbers, some never at all. This article analyses the recorded specimens that appeared at auctions in the last fifteen or so years and specimens in private collections that the author personally examined with the objective of, to the best of his ability, uniting all the data in one place, as the material is largely inaccessible and the emission institution introduced a degree of embargo on information. This is also important because these non-circulated banknotes certainly belong to Croatian numismatic history from a not so distant, very interesting and somewhat neglected period.
