New Coin Issues

World’s Smallest Coin Features World’s Smallest City

As it prepares for the euro changeover next month, the Croatian Mint has created a new world’s smallest coin featuring the world’s smallest city, Hum, with a face value of 1 kuna.

The coin weighs only 0.05 grams, with a diameter of 1.99mm, and is part of the last commemorative gold coin set issued with the Croatian kuna face value – limited to only 199 pieces.

To create the coin, the Mint worked with sculptor Ana Divković to create the most detailed motif that could feasibly be minted. Engraved using an ACSYS Femto laser and minted on an automated Sack & Kiesselbach press, the coins were produced one by one. The print was controlled in detail using a microscope post minting.
