A local commemorative scrip issued by the city of Šibenik, not a circulating banknote in any legal sense. These small municipal issues have appeared periodically across Croatian cities as promotional or cultural curiosity items, typically tied to a civic anniversary or heritage campaign. The "bagatina" is a historical small denomination coin associated with the Dalmatian coast under Venetian administration — invoking it here is a deliberate nod to the city's deep Venetian past rather than any functional monetary reference.
The watermark is an unusual security investment for what is essentially ephemera.
