4203) "Croatian Coldblood - an indigenous breed of horse that has been bred for centuries in this Balkan country", Croatia: "Indigenous Croatia Coin Series": 10 & 100 Euro (Gold) and 4- and 10-Euro Silver Proof
Coins Feature the Native Equine Breed: Date/Year of Coins issue: 23.10.2025:
The Croatian National Bank has issued 10 & 100 Euro (Gold) and 4- & 10-Euro (Silver) Proof Coins featuring the Native Equine Breed which has been bred in Croatia for centuries.
The Header/Banner showcases the Reverse of the Silver and Gold Proof Coins against a background representation of a Horse featured in its natural surroundings.
First begun in 2021 with coins featuring the Dalmatian
dog breed, the Indigenous Croatia coin series is designed to celebrate and
represent Croatia's native culture and identity.
The latest coins feature the
Croatian Coldblood, an indigenous breed of horse that has been bred for
centuries in this Balkan country, especially in the area around Sisak and other
lowland areas.
It was bred by crossing domestic mares with breeds of heavy
work horses, such as the Noriker, the Ardennes and the Percheron, with the aim
of obtaining a strong, hardy and calm horse adapted to work in agriculture and
forestry.
The Croatian Coldblood breed is recognisable by its
robust build with broad chest, strong legs and muscular body adapted for heavy
physical work.
It is included in the List of Native and
Endangered Breeds of Domestic Animals in the Republic of Croatia, which
encourages its breeding and preservation.
The Coins:
The Gold and Silver Proof Coins share the same design and have been minted by the Croatian Mint at their facilities in Sveta Nedelja on behalf of
the Croatian National Bank and designed by Nikola Vudrag.
The Reverse
of the 10 & 100 Euro (Gold) and 4- and 10-Euro Silver Proof Coins depicts the head of a Croatian Coldblood horse with a mane in semi-profile
and facing right.
Along the right periphery is the inscription "HRVATSKI HLADNOKRVNJAK" ("Croatian Coldblood").
The Obverse of the 10 & 100 Euro (Gold) and 4- and 10-Euro Silver Proof Coins features the head and mane of a Croatian Coldblood in brown and black dense
colour. The design features a
depiction of the Croatian Coldblood in stride and full stance.
Above the
primary design and along the rim is the text "REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA" ("Croatian Republic") with the
denomination 100 or 10 EURO (gold) and 8 or 4 EURO (silver) along with the year
of issue, 2025 shown near the right periphery.
