Buy The Tesla: Five Different Yugoslavia Banknotes (billfold) Online
Few names in history resonate like Nikola Tesla—a visionary inventor, electrical pioneer, and a man generations ahead of his time. Born in Smiljan, in what was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (and later Yugoslavia), Tesla became a symbol of both scientific genius and national pride. To honor his legacy, the government of Yugoslavia issued a stunning series of banknotes over several decades, each featuring Tesla’s iconic portrait.
This unique billfold includes five different Yugoslavian dinar banknotes, each issued during different moments of the nation’s turbulent 20th-century history—ranging from moderate inflation to the dizzying spiral of hyperinflation in the early 1990s. Regardless of denomination, one thing remained constant: the unmistakable image of Nikola Tesla, a man who changed the world but never stopped dreaming of the stars.
You’ll receive a 100 dinara, two different 1000 dinara (issued during different printings or design phases), a staggering 5,000,000 dinara, and the almost-unbelievable 10,000,000,000 dinara note—all bearing the solemn, thoughtful portrait of Tesla. From stable currency to economic collapse, this progression of notes tells a story not just of a man, but of a country, an empire, and a dream that couldn’t survive the weight of history.
