Obverse: The centre of the coin features one of Croatia's most famous historical monuments, the Pula Amphitheatre, also known as the Pula Arena. The inscription GRAD PULA – ARENA appears at the top, while HRVATSKA 2025 is shown at the bottom. In the background are the Adriatic coastline and the city skyline, highlighting Pula's historical and cultural connection with the sea. The design is dedicated to one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world and one of Croatia's most important cultural heritage landmarks.
Reverse: The reverse features the standard design common to all €2 coins: a geographical map of Western Europe positioned on the right side of the coin and extending across both the inner and outer parts. The inscription 2 EURO appears above the map, while the numeral 2 is placed against the background of the Atlantic Ocean. The outer ring contains 12 stars positioned on either side of the map, with vertical lines visually connecting the upper and lower stars.
About the coin: This commemorative €2 coin is dedicated to the Pula Arena, one of the most impressive amphitheatres from the Roman Empire. Built during the 1st century under Emperor Vespasian, it is one of the six largest surviving Roman amphitheatres in the world. Gladiatorial contests were once held here, while today it serves as a venue for concerts, theatre performances and international cultural events. The Pula Arena is one of Croatia's most visited historical landmarks and an important symbol of the country's cultural heritage and tourism.
