Lepoglava prison, in the Croatian highlands north of Zagreb, operated its own internal scrip system — a not uncommon practice in larger Austro-Hungarian and later Yugoslav penal institutions, where inmates could earn and spend small denominations within the facility rather than handle state currency. The 10 Lipa denomination puts this at the lowest functional tier of that system.
Dating and print attribution for Lepoglava scrip remain poorly documented in standard references. What is certain is that the institution itself had a long and grim history — it housed political prisoners under multiple regimes, including the interwar Yugoslav monarchy and the Ustaše period, meaning the scrip's circulation window could fall within very different political realities depending on the specific issue.
