Croatian Kuna to Chilean Peso

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 Chilean peso (sign $, code CLP) is the national currency issued and spread only in Chile. The Chilean peso can be changed into coins named centavo. Every CLP has 100 centavos.

The currency had appeared in circulation in 1817, but was later replaced with escudo. However, the Chilean peso has been issued again. Today, both currencies are used at the same time. In 2008, the state mint has issued 50 commemorative coins with a misspelling of the country’s name. Some of these coins were sold at auction. Having a face value of 50 peso, their price could go up to 20 thousand peso. This nuisance led to the fact that the head of the mint was fired.
