Comments

Croatia's 1993 hyperinflation notes were a direct consequence of war-disrupted supply chains, a blocked federal payment system, and the near-total collapse of the new kuna's predecessor. The 100,000 denomination arrived quickly and was quickly obsolete — the currency reform of May 1994 replaced the Croatian dinar at a rate of 1,000 dinara to one kuna, making this among the final high-denomination notes before redenomination.

Tumba Bruk, the Swedish security printer operating since 1755, produced the series. Zlatko Jakuš handling both design and engraving duties in-house was unusual for a national issue of this scale.
