The Euro coins from Croatia

Croatia joined the euro area in 2023. It has chosen four designs for their national sides of the euro coins, all featuring the distinctive Croatian chequerboard pattern in the background. All the coins also depict the 12 stars of the European flag.

Hrvatska se pridružila eurozoni 2023. Odabrala četiri prijedloga dizajna nacionalne strane eurokovanica koji svi sadržavaju motive sa hrvatskom šahovnicom u pozadini. Na svim kovanicama prikazano je 12 zvijezda europske zastave.

1 Cent 2 Cent 5 Cent

Motive: “HR” in Glagolitic

The 1, 2, and 5-cent coins show a motif of the letters “HR” in the angular Glagolitic script. The Glagolitic alphabet is the oldest known Slavic script and was used in Croatia until the 19th century. The coin was designed by Maja Škripelj and includes the year of issuance and the inscription “HRVATSKA”, the country’s name in Croatian.

The 10, 20, and 50-cent coins feature a portrait of inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla, who developed alternating current technology. The coin was designed by Ivan Domagoj Račić and includes the year of issuance and the inscription “HRVATSKA”, the country’s name in Croatian.

The design includes the year of issuance and the inscription “HRVATSKA”, the country’s name in Croatian.

 

The €2 coin features a map of Croatia on a chequerboard background. The design, by Ivan Šivak, includes the year of issuance and the inscription “HRVATSKA”, the country’s name in Croatian.
Edge lettering of the €2 coin: “O LIJEPA O DRAGA O SLATKA SLOBODO” (“Oh beautiful, oh dear, oh sweet freedom”), a line from Ivan Gundulić’s famous play, Dubravka.
