The Pelješac Bridge - is a cable-stayed bridge in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia.
The purpose of the bridge is to provide a fixed link from the Southeastern Croatian semi-exclave to the rest of the country while bypassing Bosnia and Herzegovina's short coastal strip at Neum.
The bridge spans the sea channel between Komarna on the Northern mainland and the peninsula of Pelješac, thereby passing entirely through Croatian territory and avoiding any border crossings with Bosnia and Herzegovina at Neum.
Construction started on 30.07.2018, and the bridge was connected on 28.07.2021 and the bridge and its access roads opened for traffic on 26.07.2022.
The Coin:
On the Reverse of the 25 Kuna Commemorative Circulation Coin, the inner part of the core and part of the ring feature a presentation of the Pelješac Bridge.
Partly in the inner part of the core and partly on the ring, behind the bridge, featured is a presentation of the part of the Pelješac peninsula that is connected by the bridge with the mainland of the Republic of Croatia.
The inscription “PELJEŠKI MOST” ("PELJEŠAC BRIDGE") and the year of release of the coin “2022” are positioned on the ring, below the presentation of the Pelješac Bridge.
On the Obverse of the 25 Kuna Commemorative Circulation Coin, the inner part of the core features two squares, one bigger than the other, symbolising the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Croatia and two parts of the territory of the Republic of Croatia which, shaped and connected in one stroke, are positioned in a way that symbolises road connections in the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
