| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was an unrecognised breakaway state carved from Croatian territory during the early 1990s war, and its currency had no standing in any international market. Notes like this one were printed in Belgrade by ZIN — the same facility producing Yugoslav federal currency at the time — which rather plainly illustrates the financial and political relationship between Krajina and Serbia proper.
Over twelve million printed for a statelet that ceased to exist by August 1995, when Croatian forces retook the territory in Operation Storm within four days.
