During the Second World War, Yugoslavia was occupied by the German Army. Croatia was administered separately from Serbia and different banknotes were produced. In Serbia, a provisional issue was necessary while proper Serbian issues were being printed. The Yugoslavia 100 dinara, originally issued in 1929, was taken and overprinted with the new date 1941 and new bank titles. (P23 on Yugoslavia P27)

A woman seated with sword and facing out towards a harbour is on the front and on the back a boy with a garland of fruit is featured.

Picture of Choice Antoninianus of Probus

Choice Antoninianus of Probus

Probus became emperor in AD 276 after overthrowing the emperor Florianus. A native of the city of Sirmium in what is now Serbia, he rose to prominence and proved himself a capable administrator and commander and is recognised as an emperor who contributed to the revival of the Roman Empire at a time of severe turmoil and crisis. In AD 277/8 his armies defeated the Goths, Alamanni, Longiones, Franks, and Burgundians. He realised that the best way to keep his soldiers out of trouble was to keep them busy so, with the frontiers of the empire stabilised, he set his men to the task of rebuilding the shattered infrastructure of key provinces that had crumbled under previous emperors by building roads, bridges and fortifications, draining marshes, digging canals and, interestingly, planting extensive vineyards. New plantations sprang up across Europe and there is mention in some records of Probus authorising the planting of vineyards in Britain too so we may still be enjoying the fruits of his labours today! These Antoninianus, or ‘Ants’ as we call them, are as good as they come, virtually as struck and with original lustre. The reverses will be of our choice, and there are a variety of reverse types available most with standing figures but a limited number available in this grade.
