Banknotes of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The official currency of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the convertible mark (BAM), issued by the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Paper money was first introduced in the country in 1998, following the establishment of the currency after the 1995 Dayton Agreement. A notable fact is that the initial series of banknotes featured images of local landmarks and cultural symbols, and in 2015, a new series was issued with enhanced security features. Collectors are particularly drawn to the unique designs that reflect Bosnia and Herzegovina's diverse cultural influences. The 200 convertible mark note, for instance, highlights the famous bridge of Mostar, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and showcases intricate details such as a holographic stripe that changes color. This design not only illustrates local history but also includes advanced anti-counterfeiting measures that appeal to avid philatelists.
