Queen Jelena\u2019s name has been preserved on fragments of a funerary epitaph discovered in Solin in the late 19th century. The inscription confirmed that Jelena was the wife of King Mihajlo Kre\u0161imir II and the mother of King Stjepan Dr\u017eislav, but also a ruler remembered for caring for the poor, orphans and widows. It is precisely because of this role that she became known in history as Jelena the Glorious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The designer of the coin, Nikola Vudrag<\/a>, depicted Queen Jelena alongside the motif of the Velebit degenia, a plant that grows from stone and withstands the demanding conditions of Velebit. The degenia motif further emphasises the symbolism of endurance, strength and a legacy that has lasted for more than a thousand years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2 ounce silver collector coin \u201cQueen Jelena the Glorious\u201d<\/a> is issued in a limited edition of 500 pieces<\/strong>. It is minted in Brilliant Uncirculated quality and further distinguished by partial gold plating and a ruthenium coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
