10 Kuna Dalmatian Dog

Croatia issued this coin as part of its ongoing native fauna and breeds series, spotlighting the Dalmatian — a breed whose geographic name derives directly from the Dalmatia region along the eastern Adriatic coast, making it one of the few dog breeds with an unambiguous Croatian geographic claim. The timing carries some irony: the coin was struck in 2021, just one year before Croatia's adoption of the euro rendered the kuna obsolete as circulating currency.
