| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was a self-declared Serb entity within Croatian territory, unrecognized internationally and entirely dependent on Belgrade for material support — including its currency. These notes were printed at ZIN in Belgrade and shipped across the front lines into a territory whose economic existence was already collapsing under hyperinflation before the ink dried. The ten-billion-dinar denomination was not an outlier; it was a symptom of a monetary system that had lost any meaningful anchor.
The RSK ceased to exist in August 1995 when Croatian forces overran the territory in Operation Storm. Notes from this issuer had no redemption mechanism afterward.
