| Reverse description | A classically draped female figure is depicted in a kneeling posture at centre, planting a young sapling in the ground with her right hand while steadying its trunk. The allegorical figure, rendered in a neoclassical style, gazes toward the tree with an expression of hopeful resolve. Twelve five-pointed stars arranged in a ring around the inner field evoke the European Union motif, symbolising unity and stability. The inscription THE TREE OF STABILITY appears on a raised tablet in the lower central field directly beneath the figure, with the denomination 14 EURO lettered prominently along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Bosnia and Herzegovina began issuing commemorative coinage in the late 1990s through the Central Bank established under the Dayton Agreement — the 1995 accord that ended the war but left the country's monetary institutions largely constructed from scratch under international supervision. The "Tree of Stability" denomination of 14 convertible marks reflects the currency's fixed peg to the Deutschmark at exactly 1:1, a rate chosen deliberately to anchor post-conflict economic confidence.
The 14-mark face value is unusual enough to signal immediately that this was never intended for circulation.
