| 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.
