The 1919 First Provisional Issue of the Yugoslav krone was (very similar to the Banknotes of the Czechoslovak koruna (1919) issued on 1912 Austro-Hungarian banknotes (with a black validating oval overprint) in 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1,000 Kronen denominations.[2] The 1919 Second Provisional Issue contained the same denominations of 1912 Austro-Hungarian notes, but instead of an oval overprint, adhesive stamps were used for validation.[3] The stamps on 10, 20 and 50 kronen were bilingual (Serbo-Croatian and Slovene), while stamps on the 100 and 1000 krone notes could have been in any recognized language and either script (Latin or Cyrillic).[3]
A brief 1919 dinar issue (1⁄2, 1, and 5 dinara)[3] was replaced by the Ministry of Finance of the KSCS with a 1919 Krone Provisional Issue ("krone on dinar" notes), which were printed as dinar and overprinted with krone[4] at the ratio of 1 dinar = 4 kronen. Denominations issued were 2, 4, 20, 40, 80, 400 and 4000 kronen on 1⁄2, 1, 5, 10, 20, 100 and 1000 dinara.[4] Only the 2 kronen on 1⁄2 dinar and 4 kronen on 1 dinar had variants without the overprint.[citation needed] It is as yet ambiguous as to whether the overprinted version was issued before or after.[citation needed]
