| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was an unrecognized breakaway state carved from Croatian territory during the 1991–1995 war, and its banknotes were effectively underwritten by Belgrade — ZIN's involvement here was no coincidence. Serbia's state printing works produced the Krajina series throughout the hyperinflationary spiral that consumed the Yugoslav successor economies in 1993, the same year the rump Federal Republic of Yugoslavia itself was printing notes with nine-digit face values.
The RSK ceased to exist in August 1995 when Croatian forces overran the territory in Operation Storm. Notes like this one had already been rendered worthless long before then by inflation, not conquest.
