Croatian Kuna to Euro — exchange rate

The Croatian kuna (Kn) is the national currency of Croatia. It is often abbreviated to HRK. Lipa are used as coins for the Croatian kuna.

Every HRK has 100 lipa. The currency first appeared in 1941 and existed up to 1945. Later, it was replaced with the Yugoslav dinar. Since 1994, the Croatian kuna has returned in circulation. Since 1993, the state mint issues new coins every year. If the year number is even, the name of an object placed on the back side is written in Croatian. The coins, minted in odd years, are named in Latin.

The euro (sign: €, code: EUR, number: 978) is a currency unit that is used for payment on the Eurozone territory. It is used among the majority of European countries: in Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Greece, etc. A common abbreviation of the currency is EUR.

Every euro is worth 100 cents. Sometimes the coins are called eurocents to avoid misunderstanding. The € currency was introduced in 2002 after the official establishment of the European Union. It has replaced a lot of European currencies: Greek drachma, Lithuanian litas, Slovak krona and so on. Introducing euro on a vast territory has allowed to remove transfer commission connected to conversion. Many preserved local currencies have a rate closely tied to EUR.
