Emblem of the Croatia containing historically significant symbols. On top of the emblem is The Old Croatian crown, often called Tomislav`s crown or Zvonimir`s crown, which is a term that, in addition to the physical crown, also denotes the virtual crown and the Croatian Kingdom. Below the crown is a marten (Croatian: kuna), animal whose fur was used for trade and payment of customs duties in the Croatian provinces of Slavonia and Primorje (today`s Kvarner and Istria) since at least early 11th century. Based on this, Croatian kuna was a currency in Croatia from 1994.-2022. On the left side is artistic depiction of the coat of arms of Istria (buck goat) On the right side artistic depiction of coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina during Austro-Hungary (hand holding a sabre). At the bottom is artistic depiction of the coat of arms of Dalmatia (three lion heads).
