KUNA COINAGE – from Idea to Realisation

“It will be so wonderful .... to see Croatian children holding Croatian coins in their hands ... – the coins I have made by my own hand, the Croatian money ... that will always be around, like Roman money, until the end of time.” Kuzma Kovačić, author of the Croatian kuna design, 1993.

Croatian National Bank Numismatic Issues 1994 – 2014 KUNA COINAGE – from Idea to Realisation 7

Late in 1993, the Croatian National Bank invited a tender for the graphic design concept of the Croatian coinage. The new Croatian currency was to be called kuna and its hundredth part the lipa. Kuna and lipa coins were to feature flora and fauna motifs. The design of Kuzma Kovačić was chosen from among seven sculptors’ entries as the best model for minting kuna and lipa coins.

The kuna, both symbolically and by name, relates to the hundreds of year old Croatian history. Marten pelts were once used as a means of payment, Croatian coins featured an image of the marten and the name of the Croatian money, kuna, comes from the Croatian word for marten. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the nine coins of various denominations bearing motifs of typical Croatian species: a corn stalk, a vine branch, a common oak branch, a tobacco plant, an olive branch, the Velebit degenia, a nightingale, a tuna fish and a brown bear.

At a session held on 10 May 1994, chaired by Dr Pero Jurković, the Croatian National Bank Council adopted the Decision on Issuing Banknotes and Coins Representative of the Monetary Unit of the Republic of Croatia.

In 1997, the Croatian National Bank issued and put into circulation a new coin denominated at 25 kuna. The coin, intended to be issued on special occasions, has the features of a commemorative circulation coin, with the motif on the obverse related to the occasion marked and that on the reverse identical on all issues. The term “commemorative circulation coin” implies a limited and exactly specified number of items issued.

Shaped as a regular dodecagon, the commemorative 25 kuna circulation coin is bimetallic (with the core exhibiting gold and the ring silver lustre), which is a technological innovation in coin minting.

During 1997, the Croatian National Bank released three different issues of the commemorative 25 kuna circulation coin, which were combined in a numismatic set.
