The kuna is the currency of Croatia, in use since 1994 (sign: kn; code: HRK). It is subdivided into 100 lipa. The kuna is issued by the Croatian National Bank and the coins are minted by the Croatian Monetary Institute. The plural form of the word kuna in Croatian can be 'kuna' or 'kune' (e.g. 2 'kune', 10 'kuna') because of different number declension rules.

The word 'kuna' means "marten" in Croatian, referring to the historical use of marten pelts as units of value in medieval trading. The word 'lipa' means "linden (lime) tree", a species that was traditionally planted around marketplaces in Croatia and other lands under Habsburg Monarchy rule during the early modern period.
