| Comments |
Croatia declared independence in June 1991, and its first banknote series was rushed into production at Tumba Bruk in Sweden before the country had even secured international recognition. The Croatian dinar itself was only a transitional currency, introduced to replace Yugoslav dinar circulating at par — a political statement as much as a monetary one. It survived barely two years before the kuna replaced it in 1994.
Zlatko Jakuš handling both design and engraving is unusual and worth noting. The series has a coherence that committee-designed emergency issues rarely achieve.
