Yugoslavian notes overprinted for use in Serbia during the Second World War

During the 2nd World War, Serbia was occupied by the Germans. A special wartime issue of banknotes was issued and circulated and it is from this series that we are delighted to offer. We have crisp EF+ examples of the 500 dinara dated 1941 (P31). It is handsomely engraved with an agricultural theme of a farmer sowing seeds on one side and then reaping the harvest on the other.
