| Obverse description | The left portion of the olive-green note is dominated by the coat of arms of the Republic of Serbian Krajina — a double-headed eagle with a shield bearing a cross and four Cyrillic 'S' symbols — set against a fine intaglio guilloche background. To the right, a large multicolour rosette guilloche vignette in blue, orange, and green serves as the central underprint, with the denomination numeral '10000' printed in bold letterpress across it. The Governor's manuscript signature appears at lower right beneath the Cyrillic title 'ГУВЕРНЕР', with the place and date 'КНИН 1992.' below, and an anti-counterfeiting warning legend printed vertically along the right margin. |

| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was a self-declared Serb state within Croatian territory, unrecognized internationally and dependent on Belgrade for most practical functions — including its currency. These notes were printed at ZIN in Belgrade, making them Serbian state products issued under a different authority's name, a political arrangement that reflected the RSK's near-total reliance on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The series inflated rapidly; denominations escalated in lockstep with Yugoslav hyperinflation, which by late 1993 became one of the worst in recorded history. A print run of just over twelve million sounds substantial until measured against the purchasing power these notes held within months of issue.
