The 1100th anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom and coronation of King Tomislav

Description (ECB)

The central motif of the design is King Tomislav on horseback. The other motif is Croatia's distinctive and recognisable symbol, the Croatian checkerboard, which represents part of the coat of arms of the Republic of Croatia. The design also features the following inscriptions: the words "KRALJ TOMISLAV" (King Tomislav), the year of the coronation of King Tomislav "925.", the issuing country "REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA" (Republic of Croatia) and the year of coin issuance "2025.", which are all inscribed circularly along the edge of the coin's core. The national side of the coin is designed by sculptor Nikola Vudrag. The central motif is his adaptation of the original work by sculptor Robert Franges Mihanovic from 1938. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
