The 100 Kuna 1941 banknote was issued by the Croatian National Bank during the period of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) in World War II. It reflects the historical context and design aesthetics of early 1940s Croatian currency.
The obverse features a portrait of a notable Croatian figure, surrounded by elaborate guilloché patterns and ornamental borders. The denomination appears prominently in numerals and words.
The reverse depicts allegorical imagery representing Croatian industry and agriculture, consistent with the nationalistic and economic themes of the era.
Printed on paper, the note includes a basic watermark for authenticity.
