Loyal and Brave

Minted by the Croatia Mint in partnership with Germania, this unique Silver Round spotlights one of the most recognizable dog breeds in the world: the dalmatian. Accoring to Germania: "The Dalmatian dog breed is strongly related to Croatia. Its name comes from the Adriatic coast region of Dalmatia (Croatia) and the International Kennel Federation identified the Dalmatian as an autochthonous Croatian breed in 1994, citing several historical sources.

The author of the conceptual and artistic design of the coin is the known sculptor Nikola Vudrag. In his design, he has combined the most characteristics of the Dalmatian dog breed with fragments of a geographical map of Croatia, thus creating unusual spots in the form of various Croatian islands."

The obverse features the profile of a dalmatian, alert and focused. Also featured is a geogrpahical map of a Croatian island, the coat of arms of the Republic of Croatia, and the inscriptions "REPUBLIKA . 10 KUNA . HRVATSKA." The background is filled with a distinctive pattern that really makes makes the images stand out.

The reverse shows an adult dalmatian guarding its puppy. They are on a stone wall, and clouds are seen in the background. The puppy stares inquisitively at us, perhaps begging to be petted! Inscriptions are: "DALMATINSKI . PAS . 2021 . CANIS DALMATICUS."
