2021 1 Oz Croatia 10 Kuna Dalmatian BU

Croatia commissioned the Germania Mint to produce this coin, highlighting the Dalmatian, an indigenous species to Croatia. This is Croatia's first offering in the Autochthonous (indigenous) series.

Obverse: The obverse depicts the side profile of a Dalmatian with the Croatian flag inset under its chin. A map of Croatia is displayed at the lower right and bears the inscription  "REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA". The denomination of "10 KUNA" is located towards the upper right. The background is composed of thin, wavy lines that nicely frame the smooth texture of the dog's image. 

Reverse: The reverse features a pair of Dalmatians. One is resting peacefully in the foreground while the other stands alertly behind it. The sky in the background is composed of frosted clouds on a mirrored surface, providing a pleasing frame to the dogs. The date "2021" is inscribed on the left, while the phrase "DALMANTISKI" arches overhead. The species "CANIS DALMATICUS" is inscribed towards the bottom.
