Croatia - Old Kuna (1941-1945) Coins
The official currency of Croatia is the Croatian kuna, which was introduced in 1994 following the country's independence. However, Croatia has a rich numismatic history going back centuries, reflecting the political and economic changes in the region.
Current currency and its introduction
The Croatian kuna is divided into 100 lipa and is available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 20, 50 lipa and 1, 2, 5 kuna for coins, and 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 kuna for banknotes. The introduction of the kuna in 1994 marked an important milestone in Croatia's economic history, symbolizing its sovereignty and independence after the dissolution of Yugoslavia.
Monetary history and highlights
Prior to the kuna, Croatia used several currencies, including the Yugoslav dinar and, briefly, the Croatian dinar during the transition. An interesting fact in Croatian numismatics is the issuance of commemorative coins, such as the series dedicated to the country's national parks. In addition, Croatia has announced its intention to adopt the euro as its official currency in the near future, which will mark another significant chapter in its monetary history.
