“RS Official Gazette”, No 88/2010
Pursuant to Article 18, paragraph 1, indent 3, in relation to Article 55, paragraph 1 of the Law on the National Bank of Serbia (“RS Official Gazette”, Nos 72/2003, 55/2004 and 44/2010), Governor of the National Bank of Serbia issues DECISION ОN ISSUE OF 5000-DINAR BANKNOTE AND ITS MAIN FEATURES

1. The National Bank of Serbia shall issue a 5000-dinar banknote.
2. 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. The 5000-dinar banknote shall have dimensions: 76 x 159 mm.
Front of the banknote

4. The disposition shall be horizontal.

On the left hand side of the banknote there shall be the portrait of Slobodan Jovanović in intaglio printing. To the left of the portrait there shall be the words “Slobodan Jovanović” in Cyrillic and Latin letters together with the year of his birth and death (1869–1958), whereas below it there shall be the facsimile of Slobodan Jovanović’s signature. Dominating the central part of the banknote there shall be the image of a sculpture group with a central female figure holding a pigeon in the outstretched hand (the original sculpture stands on the roof ornamentation wreath of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences building). The denomination mark “5000” is written in the positive, located in the lower right hand side of the white space, whereas a smaller denomination mark “5000” is also written in the positive, with a white contour in the vertical disposition and is placed to the right of the portrait in the upper zone of the banknote. The text reading “Narodna banka Srbije” in Latin letters is printed in two rows on the right hand side of the white space, whereas the identical text written in Cyrillic letters in two rows appears in the vicinity of the left margin of the banknote, with the words “Narodna banka” in the positive and the word “Srbije” in the negative. Both texts are printed in intaglio technique. Above the word “Srbije” written in Cyrillic letters in the negative there shall be an intaglio mark for the visually impaired persons (three horizontal stripes of uneven length). To the left of the word “Srbije”, there shall appear the six rows of micro text reading “NBS” printed in Cyrillic and Latin letters in the same intaglio technique. In the upper part of the white surface of the banknote, there is an intaglio, optically variable stylised security feature (done in OVI colour) bearing the

3 logo of the National Bank of Serbia. Depending on the viewing angle, the colour of this feature changes from gold to green. In the lower right part of the white space of the banknote, above the denomination mark “5000”, there shall be an intaglio kip effect reading “NBS” in Cyrillic letters. The text is intelligible under certain viewing angles only (the viewing direction must be in a nearly horizontal line with the banknote, and rotated by 45 degrees to the left/right) and providing the text both in the negative and in positive. Along both the upper and lower edge of that element, there shall continuously run the micro text reading “NBS” in Cyrillic letters, and in the lower part it shall be printed in Latin letters. In the upper part of the banknote, to the left of the security element printed in OVI colour, there shall be a transparent printing register featuring a half of an image that is visible as a whole only if viewed together with the fitting half of the image printed on the back of the banknote (the whole image features a rectangle with inserted white circle). To the right of the smaller, vertically placed number “5000” there shall be the inscription “pet hiljada dinara” in the negative in Latin letters, whereas the same text appears in Cyrillic letters in the positive, in the lower part of the banknote, to the left of the bigger number “5000”. Along the right edge of the banknote, against the light-violet background, there shall be inscribed, in Cyrillic and Latin letters, the text “falsifikovanje se kažnjava po zakonu”, and in the continued line, there shall be the denomination mark “5000”.
