Comments

Glina was a predominantly Serb municipality in the Sisak-Moslavina region of Croatia, and by mid-1991 it had fallen under the control of the self-proclaimed SAO Krajina. This note was issued not by a bank but by the local public security station — the milicija — a measure of just how completely the normal institutional infrastructure had broken down. Emergency scrip issued by police stations is rare in modern European monetary history.

No printing house was involved. These were almost certainly produced locally, on whatever equipment was available, and served purely to keep small transactions functioning when Yugoslav dinar supplies were disrupted.
