| Obverse description | A central intaglio vignette of Knin Fortress on its rocky hillside dominates the face in purple tones over a pink guilloche underprint. The Cyrillic issuing authority legend arches across the top, with the Governor's facsimile signature at right and the place and date "КНИН 1993." below; the denomination in words is set vertically along the right margin. The numeral "100000" appears in a guilloche cartouche at lower left, within an oval rosette at lower right, and in a further panel at upper right. |

The issuing authority legend in Latin script runs along the top, with "KNIN 1993." at lower left and the anti-counterfeiting warning along the bottom margin. |

| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was a breakaway Serb-controlled entity within Croatian territory, unrecognized internationally and sustained largely through Belgrade's financial and military backing. That dependency shows clearly in the currency: this note was printed at ZIN in Belgrade, not in Knin where the RSK government nominally sat. The RSK dinar tracked Serbian monetary chaos almost exactly, and by 1993 hyperinflation was rendering denominations like this one obsolete within weeks of issue.
Twelve million-plus printed, yet the RSK ceased to exist after Croatia's Operation Storm in August 1995. Most of the paper money simply evaporated with the state.
