The main part of the brand new catalog by the well-known expert on the paper money of the former Yugoslavia and Croatia, Borna Barac, who has also published books on the coins and medals of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) as well as the orders of Europe and the whole world, contains the coins and banknotes of the modern Republic of Croatia from 1993 to 2023. As is known, the euro was introduced in Croatia on January 1, 2023. For the coins, the usual information about the alloy, weight, diameter, time of issue, artist, mint and amount of the mint is provided for each issue. All circulation and commemorative coins are shown in color with the front and back and graded in up to five grades in euros. The coin section is rounded off by a catalog of circulation coin sets and special editions in blisters.
The paper money part includes the state paper money of the Republic of Croatia from 1991/92 as well as the banknotes of the National Bank of Croatia from 1993 to 2015. Private paper money issues from the period 1990/91 are also listed. This is followed by emergency banknotes from Croatian cities from 1919. As an appendix there is a catalog section with the coins and banknotes of the Croatian state from 1941 to 1944. Here you can also find the emergency banknotes from Zagreb from 1942 and partisan issues from 1942 to 1945. Also There are colored images of the front and back of the banknotes as well as important information about the circulation times, artists, printers, watermarks and of course also ratings in up to five degrees of preservation.
The new catalog dispenses with extensive introductions and explanations of the historical context, but is limited to the essentials, a clear documentation of Croatia's coins and paper money with bilingual information in Croatian and English as well as current valuations in euros. In Croatia it has already become the new standard work in a very short time and thanks to great demand.
