The Croatian National Bank, in collaboration with the Croatian Mint, has issued a silver coin weighing one ounce (31.103 grams) with a nominal value of 4 euros. This coin, made of silver of the highest purity (999.9/1000), has been struck in the highest minting quality—proof finish. It is released in a limited edition of 1,500 pieces and comes in an elegant box with a certificate signed by the Governor of the Croatian National Bank.
This new numismatic issue is dedicated to the maritime heritage of the island of Vis and the tradition of the falkuša, a legendary fishing boat. The designer of the concept is academic sculptor Jelena Mavrić Varga. The obverse of the coin features two boats that traditionally sailed in groups and competitively, while the reverse depicts the Kaštel in Komiža and the remaining three preserved examples of the gajeta falkuša.
