Comment
Type 1 of 1 Kuna trial strike series is a coin without the undulating background with the year of minting (1941) written at the bottom on the obverse.Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Kuna coin from the Independent State of Croatia (Yugoslavia) made of Aluminium weighing 1.42g is interesting because it was minted during World War II, specifically in 1941, when the Ustaše regime was in power. The Ustaše regime was known for its extreme nationalism, racism, and anti-Semitism, and this coin serves as a reminder of the dark history of that time period.
