| Additional information |
Bosnia and Herzegovina issued this coin in 1994 while the country was still under active siege — Sarajevo alone had been encircled since April 1992 in what became the longest capital city siege in modern warfare. Issuing coinage at all was a political act, a newly recognized state asserting institutional normalcy while its infrastructure was being shelled. Very little of this issue ever reached general circulation inside the country.
