Croatian coins by period

2 kune1 lipa

Croatian coins in the catalogue are separated into the 1941 issue and the modern kuna. Reuse of the name kuna does not imply continuity between the two systems; euro coins appear in their dedicated view.

Independent State of Croatia (1941–1945)

The catalogue retains the 2 kune type dated 1941 from the Independent State of Croatia. This issue belongs to a historical context and a currency distinct from the kuna adopted by the Republic of Croatia in 1994.
