Croatian Kuna to South African Rand

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 South African rand (sign: R, code: ZAR, number: 710) or rand is the currency used in South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia. It Has been issued since 1961, when the state ceased to be part of the British Commonwealth, upon gaining independence. One rand is divided into 100 cents.

In 2004, rand has been incorporated into the CLS system as one of the international clearing currencies. The name is derived from the abbreviation of the name of the Mountain range Witwatersrand. The word "rand" came into use from the Afrikaans language, but has been modified to be pronounced in an English manner.
