The Ustasha regime established the kuna as Croatia's currency in 1941, reviving a medieval name to signal historical legitimacy for a state that had existed for barely weeks. This 500 kuna pattern was part of an ambitious coinage program that largely never reached circulation — the wartime economy, German occupation structures, and the regime's own instability meant most planned issues remained at the pattern stage.
The Viscevic reference to NC 5 places this firmly among the non-circulating trial pieces documented by Croatian numismatic scholarship, distinct from any issued coinage of the NDH period.
