5000 Dinara

Croatia's 1992 inflation crisis moved fast enough that denominations like this one became obsolete within months of issue. The Croatian dinar, introduced as a transitional currency after independence, was replaced by the kuna in May 1994 — but the inflationary spiral had already rendered high-denomination notes like the 5000 nearly worthless in everyday use before that transition even occurred.

Tumba Bruk, operating outside Stockholm since the eighteenth century, printed for dozens of newly independent states in the early 1990s. Having a single designer and engraver credited for both functions — Zlatko Jakuš — is relatively unusual for a security print of this denomination.
