The 10 Dinara 1991 banknote was issued by the National Bank of Croatia during the transitional period following independence, before the kuna became the official currency.
The obverse depicts Ružer Bošković (1711–1787), a renowned Croatian scientist and philosopher, accompanied by intricate guilloche patterns.
The reverse shows the Zagreb Cathedral, one of the most important symbols of Croatia’s national and cultural identity.
Printed on paper with a watermark and colored fibers, it provided modest security protection for circulation.
Dimensions: 132 × 66 mm.
