To mark the 1 100th anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom, the Croatian National Bank has issued a commemorative 2-euro coin. The design on the commemorative coin depicts King Tomislav, crowned in 925 as the Croatian king, whose reign holds exceptional historical and cultural significance for the Croatia.
The author of the design of the national side is Nikola Vudrag, and the coin, in Proof quality, was minted by the Croatian Mint in a series of 5,000 pieces.
Description of the national side of the commemorative coin:
The national side of the commemorative coin features the main motif of King Tomislav on a horse. The background of the main motif features Croatia’s distinctive symbol, the Croatian checkerboard, which represents part of the coat of arms of the Republic of Croatia laid down in the Act on the Coat of Arms, Flag and Anthem of the Republic of Croatia and on the Flag and the Sash of the President of the Republic of Croatia (Official Gazette 55/1990, 26/1993 and 29/1994). The coin also features the following inscriptions: “KRALJ TOMISLAV” (King Tomislav), the year of coronation of King Tomislav “925.”, the issuing country “REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA” (Republic of Croatia) and the year of issuance “2025.”, which are inscribed circularly along the edge of the coin’s core.
The commemorative coin’s national side outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
The edge lettering of the commemorative coin features the text “O LIJEPA O DRAGA O SLATKA SLOBODO” (Oh beautiful, oh dear, oh sweet freedom) from the Hymn to Freedom, which is an integral part of the pastoral play “Dubravka” by the 17th century Croatian writer Ivan Gundulić.
