RS Official Gazette, No. 98/2011

1. The National Bank of Serbia shall issue a 1000-dinar banknote.
2. The 1000-dinar banknote shall be printed in a tinted, secure paper with multi￾tone watermark bearing the image of Đorđe Weifert and an OVD element on the
   obverse of the banknote (hereinafter: kinegram) placed on the lower part between the portrait and the denomination mark: '1000'. The kinegram elements shall include the denomination value of the banknote '1000' and the stylized image of the central motif of the occasion-marking medal – St. Georg slays a dragon, placed in the central zone of the kinegram, as well as the micro-text reading '1000 dinars' written in the Cyrillic and Latin letters in two concentric circles around the central motif. The outlines of the central motif which widen from the middle towards the borders of the kinegram, and the continuously repeated figure ‘1000’ which narrows towards the borders, complete the entire appearance of the kinegram. Depending on the viewing angle and the angle of the incoming light the kinegram shall form several different images in different colors with the smooth flow from one image to the other. On the reverse of the banknote there shall be embedded the interrupted security thread bearing the micro-lettering reading 'ДИНАР DINAR ’ with the mark ‘ ~ ‘, written both in the Cyrillic and Latin letters continually appearing on the obverse and the reverse of the banknote (the security thread and the micro￾lettering are clearly visible on the reverse, and from the obverse they are visible under the ultra-violet light rendering the banknote transparent). Imbedded in the paper shall also be security fibers in yellow, blue and red color, of which yellow and red fibers fluoresce yellow and red under ultraviolet light. The banknote shall be printed in a combined technique - the obverse in the multicolored intaglio offset printing, whereas the reverse shall be in the multicolored offset printing and the relief printing technique for the numeration elements. The numeration shall contain two letter marks and seven numerical ones and is printed twice on the reverse of the banknote – once in black and once in red. The numeration printed in red is placed in the upper part between the Great Coat-of-Arms of the Republic of Serbia and the denomination mark '1000' in the positive, fluorescing red under ultraviolet rays. The numeration printed in black is placed along the right edge of the fully printed part, above the smaller denomination mark ‘1000’, fluorescing yellow-green under ultraviolet rays.
3. The 1000-dinar banknote shall have dimensions of 72x151 cm.
