2024 Croatia Copper-Nickel 2024 Croatia Copper-Nickel Pula Coin Set UN UN

It's important to clarify something about the "Pula" aspect and the "Copper-Nickel" part of your request for the 2024 Croatia coin set.

Croatia adopted the Euro as its official currency on January 1, 2023. This means that new Croatian circulation coin sets issued in 2024 will be in Euros, not the old Kuna (which included Pula denominations). The Kuna and Lipa (the subdivision of Kuna) coins, while they contained copper-nickel elements, are no longer being produced as circulating currency.

However, the Croatian Mint has indeed issued official Euro coin sets for 2024 with a theme related to Pula. This is a common practice for countries within the Eurozone, where they release annual sets of their circulating Euro coins (with their national designs) and often dedicate the packaging or theme to a significant city or event.

Here's a detailed description of the 2024 Croatia Euro Coin Set "Pula" (which would be composed of various metals, including copper-nickel for some denominations, as is standard for Euro coins):

2024 Croatia Euro Coin Set "Pula" (Official Annual Set)

The 2024 Croatia Euro Coin Set "Pula" presents a captivating opportunity to own the complete set of Croatian Euro circulation coins issued for the year 2024, beautifully themed around the historic city of Pula. This set celebrates Croatia's second full year as a Eurozone member and highlights one of its most iconic cities.

Key Features:

Complete Set of 2024 Croatian Euro Coins: This set includes all eight denominations of Croatian Euro circulation coins for the year 2024: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 Euro cents, and 1 and 2 Euro.

National Croatian Designs: Each coin in the set features the distinctive national designs of Croatia's Euro coinage:

1, 2, 5 Euro Cents: Feature the stylized Glagolitic letters "H" and "R" (for Hrvatska, Croatia).

10, 20, 50 Euro Cents: Depict Nikola Tesla, the famous inventor who had Croatian heritage.

1 Euro: Features a marten (Kuna in Croatian), the animal after which Croatia's previous currency was named.

2 Euro: Showcases a geographical map of Croatia.

"Pula" Theme: The set's packaging and theme are dedicated to the ancient city of Pula, located on the Istrian Peninsula. Pula is renowned for its rich Roman heritage, most notably the Pula Arena, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world. The packaging typically includes imagery or descriptive text related to Pula and its historical significance.

Quality: These sets are typically available in two main qualities:

Brilliant Uncirculated (BU): Coins are taken directly from mint rolls, retaining their original mint luster. Mintage for BU sets is generally higher (e.g., 7,500 pieces).

Proof (PR/PF): Coins are struck multiple times with specially prepared dies on polished blanks, resulting in a mirror-like field and frosted design elements. Proof sets have a much lower mintage (e.g., 500 pieces) and come in more elaborate packaging, often a wooden box with a numbered certificate.

Composition: The coins are composed of the standard Euro circulation coin alloys:

1, 2, 5 Euro Cents: Copper-plated steel.

10, 20, 50 Euro Cents: Nordic Gold (an alloy of copper, aluminum, zinc, and tin).

1 Euro: Inner part is copper-nickel, outer ring is nickel-brass.

2 Euro: Inner part is nickel-brass, outer ring is copper-nickel.

Official Issue: Produced by the Croatian Mint (Hrvatska kovnica novca), these sets are official legal tender in Croatia and throughout the Eurozone.

Collector's Appeal: These annual Euro sets are highly popular among Euro coin collectors, those interested in Croatian history and culture, and anyone looking for a complete set of circulating coinage from a specific country and year. The low mintage of the Proof version makes it particularly desirable.
