1941 MEĐIMURJE, Hrvatska država forgeries

The "Hrvatska država" variety exists only on values 0.25 Din, 0.50 Din, 1 Din, 1.50 Din and 3 Din. So, you have to be careful when you see something like this...

Forgeries "Hrvatska država" on 5 Din and 12 Din. 

Both forgeries were sold on eBay. 

The forgeries are of good quality, but still easily distinguishable from the originals. For anyone in doubt, I recommend checking the list of other items from the seller - in this case, it is clear that this is a mass sale of overprinted fakes. Finally, the seller himself explains in the item description that overprint is "probably" not the original :)
