Croatian innovator Ivan Vučetić, the man whose fingerprint system changed forensics, gets his own coins

A new series of gold and silver numismatic coins has been issued to honor Ivan Vučetić, the Croatian innovator recognized for his pioneering contributions to forensic science and the development of fingerprint identification systems.

The commemorative coins were announced in Zagreb on 18 September 2026. Vučetić is widely credited with revolutionizing criminal investigations through his work in dactyloscopy, the study of fingerprints, which established a scientific basis for identifying individuals.

The release serves as a tribute to Vučetić’s legacy in the field of forensic identification, which has remained a cornerstone of law enforcement and judicial processes globally since his initial research and implementation of the system.
