Notably there are two separate Series 1941, one features banknotes with no additional overstamps.

These unaltered notes are valued at 20, 50, and 500 Dinara. The latter overlaps with the overstamped Yugoslavian 1,000 Dinara (1935), which was revalued at 500 Serbian Dinara. The notes were pegged at rate of 250 Dinara = 1 German Reichsmark.

The Series 1941 notes were provisional in nature and were replaced by Series 1942. These notes circulated until 1944, when they were replaced by the Yugoslavian Federation Dinar. They were distributed by the Yugoslav Partisans, led by future Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980). The exchange rate was 20 Serbian Dinara = 1 Yugoslav Dinar.
