This is a local scrip note, not a national currency issue — "Šibenskih Bagatina" references an archaic unit tied to Šibenik's medieval Venetian-period monetary tradition, revived here as a commemorative or regional complementary currency rather than legal tender. Croatia joined the euro zone in January 2023, but this piece predates that by a decade, issued when the kuna was still the national currency and local scrip experiments were appearing in several Croatian towns.
Printed locally in Šibenik rather than through a national security printer, the watermark is the primary security feature — modest for the denomination but appropriate for a note never intended for high-stakes circulation.
