With the collapse of Yugoslavia, the Serbian portions of Croatia declared independence from Croatia, even before Croatia declared itself independent from Yugoslavia. The Serbs formed the Republic of Serbian Krajina and had their capital at Knin. A brutal war broke out, and both Croatia (Republika Hrvatska) and Serbian Krajina suffered from severe inflation as they tried to finance themselves by printing money. Krajina was defeated in 1995 and reincorporated into Croatia. The Orange 1993 Serbian Krajina 5,000,000 Dinara note feature the Knin fortress on a hill on one side, and the Serbian arms on the other. The Croatia 50,000 Dinara and 100,000 Dinara are dated 1993. Both feature Croatian astronomer, physicist, mathematician, and philosopher Roger Joseph Boscovich. Boscovich is famous for his atomic theory. In 1753 he discovered the absence of atmosphere on the Moon. The reverse of the notes have the Statue of “Glagolica Mother Croatia”
