| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was a self-declared Serb statelet carved out of Croatian territory during the Yugoslav wars, never recognized by any foreign government. Its central bank was effectively a satellite operation — this note was printed at the ZIN facility in Belgrade, meaning the rump Croatian-Serb administration relied entirely on Serbian state infrastructure for its money supply, a dependency that left its monetary policy, such as it was, wholly subordinate to Belgrade's.
The series was issued into hyperinflationary conditions that rendered high denominations like this obsolete within weeks of printing.
