Hrvatska Državna Banka commissioned this 500 Kuna from Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig in 1943, but the notes were never placed into circulation. The reasons remain somewhat murky — wartime supply constraints and the Ustasha regime's increasingly unstable monetary situation both played a role — and the full print run was apparently never released to the issuing authority.
Vladimir Kirin, a Zagreb-born illustrator and graphic artist, provided the design. His involvement with NDH banknote work is among the more uncomfortable chapters of an otherwise distinguished career in Croatian book illustration.
