Syrian Pound to Croatian Kuna

The Syrian pound (sign £S, code SYP) circulates on the territory of Syria. It is also known as the Syrian lira. Small coins – piastres – are used as change.

One SYP equals 100 piastres. They are also known as qirsh. Technically, the coins exist, but are not used in circulation. The currency was issued in 1998, after the end of the civil war between Bosnia and Herzegovina. The rate of the national currency of this European country is tied to euro. The regime of the Military Council is used to regulate conversion.

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.
