Prinz Eugen Gau :

Before the war III. Reich against the in theeses days existing Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Germans threatened the Hungarians that if they did not participate in that war, the Volksdeutsche would declare a German state at the territory of Bačka, Banat and eastern Syrmia all the way to Belgrade. That German state was supposed to be connected with a corridor that would go partly around the Danube river to the territory of III. Reich, that is, to the Slovenian Prekomurje, which was then part of III. Reich.

After the proclamation of the Independent State of Croatia April 10, 1941 this plans didn´t stop and the Volksdeutsche planed the proclamation of that state at the birthday of Adolf Hitler at April 20, 1941. They had prepared 3 stamps with overprints on hungarian stamps, but the III. Reich didn´t support this plans, because they don´t want to have problems with the new state, the Independent State of Croatia and also not with Hungary.

The Hungarians were afraid of a possible realisation of such a exteritorial german territory and annexed first the Bačka at the April 11, 1941 and some days later Međimurije of the Independent State of Croatia at the April 16, 1941 so that a corridor between a possible "Prince Eugen Gau" and the III. Reich couldn´t be realized without a war between the Allies Hungary and the III. Reich.

”Bosniaks” are Croats!

Regardless of the fact that the Croatian Muslims from Bosnia only reinvented themselves as a separate nation in 1991, they remain genetically Croats. This is not only evidenced by the largest genetic institute in Vancouver (Canada) but also by countless statements from Croatian Muslims from Bosnia over the past centuries.

1,230,000 fewer Croats, as well as 140,000 fewer Germans.

Currency of the Independent State of Croatia : Kuna and Banica.

The name Kuna for the permanent Croatian currency was chosen because of the significant role of the marten fur in Croatian monetary and fiscal history. The history of the name of the monetary unit of Croatia begins with the kuna fur as a means of natural payment, then the Kuna becomes an accounting monetary unit and, finally, money in the modern sense.

The marten´s fur served as a means of paying the tax called kunovina or marturina in medieval Slavonia, Primorje and Dalmatia; from the first half of the 13th century until almost the end of the 14th century, the figure of the marten appeared on Croatian coins called Banovac (minted in Pakrac). The Kuna was the potential money of Banovina Hrvatska.

In 2004, an international symposium was held in Zagreb with the theme 'Religions and money'. The following year, the organizer of the symposium, the Philosophical and Theological Institute of the Society of Jesus, published the proceedings of the symposium.

It also published the work of Ševko Omerbašić, the former mufti of Zagreb for many years and the president of the Mešihat of the Islamic Community in Croatia, under the title 'Islam and money'.

Here is the part related to our Kuna :

"Finally, allow me to convey to you a part of a report by the travel writer Abu Hamid al-Garnati from long ago, in 1154, in which he reports on a three-year stay in Hungary (Unkaria) among the Ismaelian and Kalizi Muslims there. In his manuscript, which was discovered in 1952 in the famous manuscript collection of the 'Real Academia de la Historia' in the Escorial in Madrid, and was translated, edited, edited and published in 1953 by the Spanish orientalist C. E. Dubler, Abu Hamid describes in detail the money that firmly connected with the name of our Kuna coin. Here is what Abu Hamid says about that money: 'Arriving in the land of the Croats, I found out that it is a vast and rich country. I have seen many hives of bees, fields of barley and wheat, and many orchards of apples, and I have never eaten bigger, tastier, and more delicious apples. Food is very cheap. As a means of payment in mutual trade, they use marten skin, with shaved hair, which is not used for anything else, nor is it usable for anything else. The skin of the marten must be complete with the head, front and hind paws and only as such is correct. Eighteen such skins are worth one silver Dirham, according to their exchange rate. The skin is lined with strong thread and is called "kundža". One such foreskin buys a piece of bread, enough to feed a grown man. With them, everything is bought and sold for these skins, concubines, slaves, servants, gold, silver, food and all other necessities. This money is not valid in any other country. When the leather money is worn, they are taken for repair to a craftsman who sews up the torn skins with strong leather thread. Black lead beads are hung on the edge threads, and then they are sealed with a red royal seal. A seal is stamped on each skin. Skins repaired in this way are put into circulation and no one can refuse them in the trade."

In addition to the Kuna as a means of payment for the Croats, Abu Hamid describes their country, a large black river (Danube) whose water is drinkable and sweet, and in which there are more water snakes than fish, impenetrable forests where different and strange animals live, beavers around the rivers whose he takes the skin to Bulgaria and sells it on the markets, and furs are made from it. Abu Hamid describes the Croats as very honest and hardworking people.

Arab travel writers mostly went on their long journeys on behalf of the authorities in Baghdad or Cordoba. They found donors among the traders who paid for their journeys, and they in turn were obliged to describe in detail the countries and peoples in which they stayed, their economy, agriculture and natural resources. It was the same with Abu Hamid.'

Independent State of Croatia : coins of the Handschar division.

The Veteran Association “Handschar” (Handžar) has published in the year 1991 five different coins in various metals :

In 1991 also a 5 Kuna coin was published, but at the back side are not traditional croatian motives.

At the back-side you can find a motive of the band Depeche Mode and their album “Violator”.

You can´t find at this coins the abbreviation “TKH” for “Truppenkameradschaft Handschar” like at the coins above, but because of the fact that it is produced in the same limitation and the same materials we are sure that this coin was published also from or from the environment of the Veteran Association “Handschar”.
