Country outline

The outline of Croatia, with the country's distinctive landscape features — a deeply indented coastline with numerous offshore islands, characteristic of this Adriatic nation. On the right, the year "2023."; at the lower left, the issuing country "HRVATSKA".

Croatia's outline, with its distinctive, island-studded Adriatic coastline, is a key element of national identity, reflecting the long-standing importance of the sea and tourism to the country. Croatia joined the European Union in 2013 and adopted the euro only in 2023, making it the most recent member of the eurozone to date. The map as a coin motif highlights both the country's distinctive geography and its comparatively recent entry into the currency union.
