| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was an unrecognized breakaway state carved from Croatian territory during the Yugoslav wars, and its banknotes were printed in Belgrade by ZIN — the same facility producing notes for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. That arrangement tells you everything about the Krajina's actual independence. By 1994, Yugoslav successor-state inflation had reached catastrophic levels, and the RSK's own currency tracked the same collapse: denominations like this one became worthless within weeks of issue, not months.
The RSK ceased to exist in August 1995 when Croatia's Operation Storm overran the territory in under four days.
