150 Kuna 150 Years of Croatian as an Official Language

Croatian gained official status in 1847 when the Ban of Croatia, Josip Jelačić, successfully pushed to replace Latin with Croatian in administrative and governmental functions — a pivotal moment in the broader Illyrian Movement's push for South Slavic cultural consolidation under Habsburg rule. The commemorative occasion being marked here is therefore 1847, not some later codification.

KM#75 was struck at the Croatian Mint in Zagreb, one of relatively few commemorative kuna issues produced entirely domestically rather than contracted abroad.
