At the end of World War II Yugoslavia and Italy both demanded territory of Trieste and Istra which was temporarily divided into zones A and B. Yugoslavia issued an emergency money for their part. According to international law, the name of the currency in the occupied zone had to be the same as the name of the currency that was valid until then.
The decision was made by the National Liberation Committee with consent of the military administration of the Yugoslav army.
It was released into circulation on October 18, 1945.
Serial numbers exist AA-BE in both colors, red and black.
