The kuna (Croatian pronunciation: [kǔːna]; sign: kn; code: HRK) was the currency of Croatia from 1994 until 2023, when it was replaced by the euro.

[4][5] The idea of a kuna currency reappeared in 1939 when the Banovina of Croatia, an autonomous province established within the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, planned to issue its own money, along with the Yugoslav dinar.

A long-time policy of the Croatian National Bank was to keep the fluctuations of the kuna's exchange rate against the euro (or, previously, the mark) within a relatively stable range.

[11][12] The kuna was replaced by the euro on 1 January 2023 after satisfying prerequisites[13] as the initial time estimate of standard four years after joining the European Union proved too short.

[14] A two-week transition period during which kuna cash remained as legal tender in circulation alongside the euro ended on 14 January.

[17] Lipa is the Croatian word for linden or tilia tree, a species that was traditionally planted around marketplaces in Croatia and other lands under Habsburg monarchy rule during the early modern period.

The notes were designed by Miroslav Šutej and Vilko Žiljak [hr], and all feature prominent Croatians on front and architectural motifs on back.

To the right of the coat of arms on front is a microprinted version of the Croatian national anthem, Lijepa naša domovino (Our Beautiful Homeland).
