The 5000-dinar banknote shall be printed on a tinted, secure paper with multi-tone watermark bearing the image of Slobodan Jovanović and an OVD element on the front of the banknote (hereinafter: “kinegram”) placed in the lower part between the portrait and the denomination mark: “5000”. The central zone of the kinegram shall include the National Bank of Serbia’s logo and the denomination mark “5000”, as well as the micro lettering “5000 dinara”, printed in both Cyrillic and Latin letters in two concentric circles around the motif. In the demetalised part of the kinegram (upper part and lower left and right hand sides), the numeral “5000” is repeated three times. The contours of the number “5000” become smaller as they near the borders and add to the completeness of the kinegram. Depending on the viewing angle and the angle of the incoming light, the kinegram forms several different images in different colours smoothly flowing from one to the other. On the back of the banknote there shall be embedded the interrupted security thread, bearing the micro lettering “DINAR ~ ДИНАР” in the negative, printed in Cyrillic and Latin letters. The micro lettering shall appear continuously and shall be legible from both the front and the back (the security thread and the micro lettering are clearly visible from the back, and from the front they are visible under the light that makes the banknote transparent). Embedded into the paper are security fibres in yellow, blue and red colours, of which yellow and red fibres fluoresce yellow and red under ultra-violet light.

The banknote shall be printed in a combined technique – the front in the multicoloured intaglio offset printing, whereas the back shall be in the multicoloured offset printing and the relief printing technique for the numeration. The numeration shall contain two letter marks and seven numeric ones; it is printed twice on the back of the banknote – once in black, once in red. The

2 numeration printed in black is placed in the upper part between the Great Coat-of-Arms of the Republic of Serbia and the denomination mark “5000” in the positive, fluorescing greenish-yellow under ultraviolet light. The numeration printed in red is placed along the lower right edge of the fully printed part, above the smaller denomination mark “5000”, fluorescing red under ultraviolet light. 3.
