Comments

One of the more obscure categories in Yugoslav emergency money, this note originates from a private building and architectural firm in Osijek — Aksman, Malin, and Rožić — during the chaotic transitional period following the collapse of Austria-Hungary. Firms, cooperatives, and municipalities across the former empire issued their own small-denomination scrip in 1919 simply because usable coinage had effectively vanished from circulation, absorbed by wartime hoarding and the monetary confusion of succession.

That a construction firm felt compelled to print its own 10-filler notes to pay workers or make change speaks directly to how completely the monetary infrastructure had broken down in provincial Croatia that year.
