Croatia
Fascist State gold 500 Kuna 1941 MS61 NGC, Zagreb mint, KM-A3, Fr-1. A staggeringly rare issue from the Fascist state era, with a reported mintage of just 170 pieces that never circulated. Featuring the menacing bust of Ante Pavelic who founded the Croatian Revolutionary Movement in 1929 and was appointed as the leader of Independent State of Croatia in 1941, under the umbrella of German and Italian forces. A brilliant piece with warm coppery tone, destined for an advanced collection of European coins issued during the Second World War.
