So, it must show a bulbul or nightingale on one side, which is strange because I have never seen a coin on which I could read a bird's name (by the way, I am collecting coins).
Here you have it, it's like this one. It's from 1995

"Kuna" on this coin means "kuna" which is the Croatian currency. The plural is "kuna". FYI, the "small coins" are "lipe" (singular: lipa).

By the way, lipa is a Slavic word for linden. I don't know the connection between payments and linden, but lipa/lípa is a popular Slavic (or Czech only?) symbol.
