Croatian Mint nsheep announced a new annual edition of the official set of Croatian euro coins with the mint year 2026, produced in proof quality. The edition is titled Euro set Vukovar 2026. Proof, and it will be available in a very limited quantity of only 500 pieces.
It is an official set containing all denominations of Croatian circulating euro and euro cent coins dated 2026. The coins are produced in the highest minting quality, intended primarily for collectors and numismatic enthusiasts.
This year's edition is dedicated to Vukovar, a city that holds an important place in Croatian history, culture, and identity. Located at the confluence of the Vuka and the Danube rivers, Vukovar is mentioned in written sources as early as the beginning of the 13th century. Thanks to its favorable position along important river and land routes, it developed into a significant trade and transport hub.
The rich past of the town is visible in its historical center, the Eltz Castle, and near the Vučedol archaeological site. The Vučedol culture is precisely one of the most important chapters of European prehistory, known for its developed ceramics, metalworking, and recognizable symbolism. The blend of prehistoric heritage, later urban development, and its location on the Danube makes the Vukovar area unique and recognizable.
Throughout history, Vukovar has been a meeting place of different cultures and influences, which is reflected in its architecture, daily life, and cultural heritage. The Danube played an important role in shaping the city's identity, connecting it with other European regions and giving it a significant role in trade and exchange.
With the new edition, the annual set of Croatian euro coins gains additional symbolism. The coins, although identical in motifs to those in regular use, are presented in this set as a collector's entity that connects contemporary currency with the historical and cultural heritage of the city on the Danube.
The set comes in elegant packaging, along with a numbered certificate signed by the director of the Croatian Mint, confirming the authenticity of the issue.
Euro set Vukovar 2026. Proof will be available for purchase through the Croatian Mint's web shop starting from May 7 at 9 AM.
