| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse bears the historic Croatian coat of arms in the central field, rendered in the traditional chequerboard (šahovnica) pattern. Above the shield appears the Ustasha symbol 'U', enclosed within a Croatian interlace ornament featuring a three-ribbon plaitwork design. The upper legend reads NEZAVISNA DRŽAVA and the lower legend reads HRVATSKA, together forming the full inscription of the Independent State of Croatia, separated from the field by the coin's raised rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The kuna denomination was deliberately chosen by the Ustaše regime for its wartime coinage — the word means "marten," referencing the medieval fur-trade currency used in Croatian lands before the introduction of coined money. It was an explicit nationalist gesture, reaching past centuries of Habsburg and Yugoslav monetary administration to claim a pre-Ottoman Slavic identity. Zinc was the only viable material; by 1941 the NDH (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska) had neither the infrastructure nor the metal reserves for anything better.
The Independent State of Croatia was proclaimed on April 10, 1941, four days after the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia. This coin was among the first acts of the new state's material sovereignty — issued within months of that proclamation.
