The Croatian National Bank hereby informs interested parties of an amendment to the English translation of the Public Tender for the Sale of Kuna and Lipa Coins and Planchets Owned by the CNB, and encloses the updated English text of the tender.

The amendment to the Public Tender is located in Section 14.1, replacing the word 'and' with the word 'or' in the third line, so that Section 14.1 in its entirety now reads as follows:"

  1. "As proof of commitment to their bids, tenderers shall, by the end of the time limit for the submission of bids, submit a bid guarantee in the form of an irrevocable, unconditional bank guarantee payable upon first demand or transfer the monetary deposit in the amount of EUR 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand euro) to the CNB’s business account no. HR6210010051011111116, using the tenderer’s OIB (personal identification number) as payment reference number, HR00 as model and specifying the following payment description: "Guarantee for kuna and lipa coins and blanks owned by the Croatian National Bank."
  2. The amendment to the Public Tender in Annex 1, Table 2 modifies the 'COMPOSITION' column for the 10 and 5 lipa coins to read 'steel core coated with bronze 72.5% Cu / 27.5% Zn' instead of 'steel core coated with bronze 72.5% Cu / 27.5% Fe'.

All other provisions of the Public Tender remain unchanged.
