100 Kruna Croatian

This note belongs to a transitional currency patchwork — in the months following unification in December 1918, the new Kingdom had no uniform currency and relied on overstamped Austro-Hungarian Kronen banknotes as a stopgap. The 100 Kruna notes were stamped with the kingdom's authority to distinguish them from unstamped Austro-Hungarian issues still circulating across the border, a necessary measure to prevent currency arbitrage between the successor states as the old empire's notes were being demonetized at varying rates.

The "A" suffix in the Pick designation distinguishes it from related overstamp varieties applied to notes of different print runs or stamp placements.
