| Additional information |
Macedonia issued this coin specifically to mark the 2000th anniversary of Christianity — a decision that drew quiet diplomatic friction given the country's mixed religious population and its already fraught relationships with neighboring Greece and Bulgaria. The "Christianity" designation is printed directly on the coin itself, an unusual move for a secular republic's circulating coinage.
