Bosnia and Herzegovina 2000 marka

from the Acanthite Collection

The communist regime in Yugoslavia collapsed in 1991 as part of the general failure of communism in Russia and eastern Europe. Croats and Serbs disputed the territory of Bosnia and a nasty war ensued, in which the Bosnian Muslims were the main victims. Eventually, NATO intervened and imposed peace and Bosnia and Herzegovina have maintained a fragile independence since. This marka was first issued in 2000 and issued again 2002-13. As of August 2023, US$1 = 1.80 Bosnian convertible marks, making this coin worth about US$0.56.

Recorded mintage: 10,000,000.

Specification: 4.95 g, nickel plated steel, 23.23 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 118.
