Dear customers,

€2 commemorative coin ““Member of the Euro Area” 2023 in the Proof quality is SOLD OUT!

Led by the idea that minting 2 euro commemorative coin is a good way to promote our country, the Croatian Mint issues the first Croatian 2 euro commemorative coin in Proof quality.

With the 2 euro commemorative coin “Member of the Euro Area” 2023 we mark the introduction of the Euro as the official currency of Croatia. Alongside the inscription “Member of the Euro Area 2023” the author of the design, Nikola Vudrag, has depicted the recognizable Croatian “squares.” The inscriptions on the coin are arranged to form a stylized euro symbol.

Description of the national side of the commemorative coin: The coin’s core features the inscriptions of the issuing country “HRVATSKA” (Croatia) and the year of issuance “2023.”, depicted horizontally, as well as the words “ČLANICA EUROPODRUČJA” (member of the euro area), which are inscribed along the outer edge of the coin’s core. These inscriptions symbolically form a stylised symbol of the euro “€”. The other central motive of the commemorative coin is Croatia’s distinctive and recognisable 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’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag. The edge lettering of the 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.

The coin comes in a box with a numbered certificate signed by the general manager of the Croatian Mint.
