The euro is the official legal tender in the Republic of Croatia from 1 January 2023. The euro coins are issued in eight different denominations: €2 and €1, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 cent. The euro coins have a common European side and a national side specific for the euro area Member State.
The common sides of the coins were designed by Luc Luycx of the Royal Belgian Mint, whose initials are present on each euro coin. The common side of the first design euro coins of the denominations of €1 and €2, and 50, 20 and 10 cent shows the coin denomination, the name of the currency, a geographical image of Europe, showing the Member States before the enlargement on 1 May 2004 and the 12 stars of the EU flag.
The euro coins with the national side of the Republic of Croatia are minted at the Croatian Mint.
