Summary/Abstract: Two decades that have passed after the tender for a graphic design of the official currency coins of the Republic of Croatia was commissioned in 1993 make a fine opportunity for a short study of both the tender itself and the accompanying circumstances that surrounded it. A study of both published and unpublished material revealed a certain inconsistency between the official version of the events and their actual development during the first half of 1993. The main controversial points are the tendering for the design of Croatian kuna before the Parliament actually changed the name of official Croatian currency (a subject treated at some length in the text) and the motivation of the members of the Commission for Drafting a Proposal for a Monetary System Concept and the Production of the Republic of Croatia Banknotes in their choice of the currency’s name (which is only summarily treated in the paper).
