Croatian Mint has released the official set of euro coins for the year 2024 in proof quality.
This exclusive set includes denominations of circulating euro coins and euro cents minted in the year 2024, offering everyone the opportunity to own exceptional coins.
This limited edition set of Croatian euro coins for 2024 is available in a restricted series of only 500 pieces.
The Euro set Pula 2024 in proof quality is not just a collector’s item but also celebrates the city of Pula and its most famous landmark, the Pula Arena.
Pula is the largest city on the Istrian Peninsula, situated at its southern tip. With a population of over 50,000 inhabitants, it ranks as the eighth largest city in the country. With a long tradition of winemaking, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism, the city successfully blends a multicultural population and diversity as one of the most renowned cultural centres of Istria since ancient Roman times.

Among the many ancient Roman buildings, the Pula Arena stands out as one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters. Built between 27 and 68 BC, it is the largest and best-preserved monument of ancient architecture.
Made of limestone, it is the only remaining Roman amphitheater with all four towers fully intact and ranks among the six largest preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world.
Today, the Pula Arena is one of the main tourist attractions of the Istrian Peninsula and Croatia as a whole. It hosts numerous festivals and has been a magnet for popular world musicians for many years.
