Sesvete is a small town northeast of Zagreb, and "Sesvetski magazin" was a retail cooperative or supply store — the kind of enterprise that issued its own scrip during Yugoslavia's chronic small-change shortages of the early 1990s, when the federal dinar was collapsing under hyperinflation and local businesses simply couldn't obtain usable currency in workable denominations. These store-issued notes, called "boni" or "bonovi," functioned as internal vouchers redeemable only at the issuing establishment.
What makes this particular piece unusual is the substrate: filigree security paper from Zavod za izradu novčanica, the official Yugoslav banknote printing works in Belgrade. A retail cooperative obtaining genuine security paper from the state printer points to informal supply channels that were very much a feature of late Yugoslav economic disintegration.
