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. The kuna was subdivided into 100 lipa. It was issued by the Croatian National Bank and the coins were minted by the Croatian Mint.
In the Croatian language, the word kuna means 'marten' and lipa means 'linden tree', both references to their historical use in medieval trading.
