Croatian Kuna to Gibraltar Pound

The Croatian Kuna (symbol: kn, codes: HKR and 191) is the official currency of Croatia, which existed from 1941 through 1945,and was revived in 1994. The name is given in honor of marten pelts, which in the old times was a means of payment. The new Banknotes completely replaced the Croatian dinar by 1995.

Kuna is subdivided into 100 lipa. Banknotes bear images depicting palaces, fortresses, portraits of historical figures of the country. Although the country has joined the EU since 2013, the transition to the euro has not yet taken place. The authorities of Croatia are considering the issue of joining the Eurozone.

The Gibraltar pound (sign £, code GIP) is a sovereign currency of Gibraltar. The currency is also known as the livre. It is used along with the British pound sterling at par.

Pennies are used as change for the Gibraltar pound. One GIP has 100 pennies. The currency became the main payment unit in 1898. Every 2 years, the Gibraltar’s Mint manufactures a 2-pound coin with a new design. There are coins telling a story of a well-known myth – 12 labors of Heracles.
