Hrvatska kovnica novca/Croatian currency – all rights reserved

February 22, 2022 – Ahead of Croatia’s accession to the Eurozone, a special gold and silver kuna design will be issued by the Croatian National Bank (CNB/HNB) featuring the Dalmatian, a breed of much-loved dog hailing from the beautiful Dalmatian coast of Croatia.

It won’t be long before Croatia’s national currency, the kuna, is invalidated and sent to the history books as the country enters the eurozone, a move it had to promise to make to gain the EU membership. The only countries that did not have this promise and were given opt-out options are Denmark and the UK.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, the author of the conceptual and artistic design of these special pattern kuna gold and silver coins is Nikola Vudrag, and the coin that celebrates the clownish and much-loved Dalmatian dog breed was minted at the Croatian Mint.

The Croatian National Bank will issue a special pattern gold coin of 1,000 kuna in a maximum quantity of 101 coins, another special pattern gold coin of 250 kuna in a maximum quantity of 2,000 coins and a silver coin of 20 kuna in an amount not exceeding 2000 pieces. more than 500 pieces. In November 2021, the CNB issued two gold coins and one silver coin with the same special design.

The sale of these gold and silver coins will be carried out by the Croatian Mint, and the initial sale price should be around 16,000.00 kuna without VAT for the first 1,000 kuna coin, and around 3,800.00 kuna without VAT for a 250 kuna gold coin.

The initial sale price of the silver 20 kuna coin will be approximately 1,592.00 kuna without VAT. The final selling price of special pattern gold and silver kuna coins will depend on how gold and silver prices in the open market develop over time.

Interested individuals can purchase these commemorative coins now, and more information on ordering and purchasing them can be found on this website.
