The Croatian 25 Kuna 0 Euro Note is a 0 Euro Note dedicated to the kuna, which was the currency of Croatia from 1994 until 2023, when it was replaced by the euro. The kuna was subdivided into 100 lipa. It was issued by the Croatian National Bank and the coins were minted by the Croatian Mint. In the Croatian language, the word kuna means 'marten' and lipa means 'linden tree', both references to their historical use in medieval trading.

The Croatian 25 Kuna coin is a unique and highly collectible piece of modern currency that holds both cultural and numismatic value. First issued in 1997 by the Croatian National Bank, this commemorative coin is not part of regular circulation but is instead released to mark special occasions and national events. Striking in its design, the coin is bimetallic, featuring an inner core made of cupronickel and an outer ring of an aluminum-bronze alloy. This two-tone composition not only makes the coin visually distinctive but also adds to its durability.

The obverse typically displays the denomination “25 KUNA” along with the Croatian coat of arms and the year of issue. The reverse design changes depending on the commemorative theme, often highlighting important anniversaries, cultural symbols, or significant historical events in Croatia’s history.

Measuring 32 mm in diameter and weighing 12.75 grams, the 25 Kuna coin is valued far beyond its face value by collectors, especially limited-edition releases with low mintages. Tourists visiting Croatia often seek out these coins as memorable souvenirs, as they encapsulate national pride and artistry in a tangible form.

Since Croatia adopted the euro in 2023, the 25 Kuna coin has become an even more desirable keepsake, representing a now-retired currency. For coin enthusiasts, historians, and travelers alike, the Croatian 25 Kuna coin serves as a small but striking reminder of the country’s rich heritage, beautiful design traditions, and important milestones on its journey as an independent nation.
