During the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, hyperinflation and supply disruptions pushed businesses across Bosnia-Herzegovina into issuing their own scrip. Restoran Lav in Zenica — "Lav" meaning lion — almost certainly produced these coupons denominated in German marks rather than Yugoslav dinars or later Bosnian currency, a straightforward acknowledgment that the dinar had collapsed as a unit of account worth using.
Restaurant-issued DEM coupons from this period are poorly documented and rarely surface in trade. The issuer's locality matters: Zenica, a heavy-industry city, was under siege conditions for much of 1992–1995.
