The kuna (Croatian pronunciation: [kǔːna]; sign: Kn) was the currency of the Independent State of Croatia from 1941 until 1945.
[2][3] The Croatian kuna was introduced in the Independent State of Croatia on 26 July 1941.
Italian lira and German Reichsmark were printed parallel to the kuna and in occupied countries, but were not legal tender in Nazi Germany.
[5] One gold coin with two separate designs valued at 500 kuna was minted in 1941.
These included the Zagreb Government Region Anti-Fascist Authority and the State Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Croatia, commonly abbreviated as ZAVNOH.
