Key information

About the Bosnia and Herzegovina 10 Feninga Coin

This coin uses a single-metal construction with a warm brass tone, relying on engraving depth and layout precision rather than material contrast. The design is symmetrical and carefully layered, with clear separation between central imagery and outer inscriptions.

Obverse (Front)

The obverse is centred on a mapped outline of Bosnia and Herzegovina, engraved as a thin, continuous contour line. The map sits centrally and acts as a base layer for the denomination.

Overlaid on the map is a large “10,” positioned upright and occupying most of the central field. The numeral is cleanly cut with consistent thickness, and its edges are slightly rounded, giving it a smooth, refined appearance. The “1” stands vertically with a flat top, while the “0” is evenly proportioned and oval in shape.

Above the numeral, the word “feninga” is engraved in small lettering, following the upper contour of the map. Below the numeral, the denomination is repeated in Cyrillic script “Фенинга,” aligned with the lower portion of the design. Both inscriptions are finely engraved and evenly spaced.

Encircling the central design is a bilingual inscription ring reading “Bosna i Hercegovina,” repeated in Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The text follows the curvature precisely, with consistent spacing and depth.

Along this outer ring, triangular markers are positioned at intervals, pointing inward toward the centre. Just inside the rim, a dotted border runs continuously around the coin, formed from small raised نقاط that create a textured frame.

Reverse

The reverse is dominated by the national coat of arms, positioned centrally within a defined circular field. The shield is outlined with a clean, sharp edge and divided diagonally from the upper left to the lower right.

Running along this diagonal is a sequence of small five-pointed stars, each evenly spaced and aligned in a straight line. The stars are slightly recessed compared to the surrounding surface, creating a subtle contrast in depth.

The upper triangular portion of the shield is smooth and untextured, while the lower section mirrors this finish, allowing the diagonal band of stars to stand out clearly.

Below the shield, the year “2013” is engraved, positioned slightly below centre and aligned horizontally. The numerals are compact and sharply defined.

The outer ring mirrors the obverse structure, with bilingual inscriptions running along the perimeter and triangular markers placed symmetrically. A fine inner border line separates the central field from the inscription ring, reinforcing the coin’s layered construction.
