Key information

About the Bosnia and Herzegovina 50 Feninga Coin

This coin uses a single-metal brass-toned composition, relying on engraving precision and spatial balance rather than material contrast. The design is highly symmetrical, with layered elements arranged concentrically.

Obverse (Front)

The obverse is built around a central outline of Bosnia and Herzegovina, engraved with a fine, continuous contour line. The map sits centrally and serves as a structural base for the denomination.

Superimposed over this outline is a large “50,” occupying most of the inner field. The “5” is defined by a flat upper stroke and a rounded lower curve that transitions into a horizontal base, while the “0” is wide and evenly proportioned, forming a smooth oval shape. Both numerals are raised with consistent thickness and softly rounded edges.

Above the “50,” the word “feninga” appears 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 portion of the design. The lettering is finely engraved and evenly spaced, maintaining clarity without overpowering the central numerals.

Surrounding the central composition is a bilingual inscription ring reading “Bosna i Hercegovina” in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The text is precisely aligned along the circular path, with consistent spacing between characters.

Triangular markers are positioned at intervals along the ring, pointing inward toward the centre. Just inside the outer rim, a dotted border forms a continuous حلق of small raised نقاط, creating a textured frame that separates the inscription from the edge.

Reverse

The reverse features the national coat of arms, centred within a clearly defined circular field. The shield is sharply outlined and divided diagonally from the upper left to the lower right.

Along this diagonal runs a sequence of five-pointed stars, evenly spaced and aligned in a straight line. Each star is crisply engraved, with slightly recessed surfaces that create a subtle contrast against the surrounding field.

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 remain the dominant visual element.

Below the shield, the year “2007” is engraved, positioned centrally and slightly below the midpoint. The numerals are compact and sharply defined.

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