1 Kuna

Zagreb's city government issued these small-denomination kuna notes in 1942 as a municipal emergency currency — the newly established Independent State of Croatia (NDH) had introduced the kuna that same year, but fractional coinage was in desperately short supply almost immediately. The city stepped in to fill the gap rather than wait for the central authorities.

Danimir Widmayer was one of the more active Croatian graphic designers working under NDH patronage. The notes were printed by Hrvatska državna tiskara, the state printing house established by the NDH regime to handle official document production domestically rather than relying on foreign printers.
