Key information

About the Bosnia and Herzegovina 20 Feninga Coin

This coin follows the same structured design language as other feninga denominations, with careful layering and precise engraving. The warm brass tone enhances contrast between raised elements and flat fields, giving the design clarity without relying on multiple metals.

Obverse (Front)

The obverse is centred on a finely outlined map of Bosnia and Herzegovina, engraved as a continuous contour line that sits slightly raised above the background. The map forms the base layer for the denomination.

Superimposed over the map is a large “20,” occupying most of the central field. The “2” begins with a rounded upper curve and transitions into a diagonal stroke that flows into a horizontal base, while the “0” is broad and evenly proportioned, forming a near-perfect oval. Both numerals are raised with smooth edges and a consistent thickness.

Above the “20,” the word “feninga” is engraved in Latin script, following the upper contour of the map. Below the numeral, the denomination is repeated in Cyrillic script “Фенинга,” aligned along the lower edge of the central design. The lettering on both lines is finely cut and evenly spaced.

Encircling the central composition is a bilingual inscription ring reading “Bosna i Hercegovina” in Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The text is arranged with precise spacing and follows the curvature of the coin exactly.

At intervals around the ring, triangular markers point inward toward the centre, providing visual reference points that break the circular flow of text. Just inside the outer rim, a dotted border runs continuously, made up of evenly spaced raised نقاط that frame the design.

Reverse

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

Along this diagonal, a sequence of small five-pointed stars runs in a straight line, each star identical in size and spacing. The stars are slightly recessed relative to the surrounding surface, creating a subtle depth contrast.

The upper triangular section 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, centred and slightly below the midpoint of the coin. The numerals are compact and sharply defined.

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