| Comments |
The Okrožni NOO za Baško was one of dozens of district-level partisan liberation committees that issued their own emergency currency in Yugoslav territory during the final phase of the German occupation. These local emission authorities operated largely independently, printing notes to pay fighters, requisition supplies, and assert administrative legitimacy over liberated or contested zones. The Baška district, on the island of Krk off the Croatian coast, fell within the broader Primorje-Gorski Kotar operational area where partisan control fluctuated sharply through 1944 and into early 1945.
Survival rates for these hyper-local partisan emissions are low. Notes were printed in small quantities under difficult conditions and had no life beyond the immediate military-political moment that created them.
