Minted in 999.9/1000 pure gold, belongs to the category of investment gold. Gold coin “Lace-making in Croatia” comes in a box with a certificate signed by the Governor of the Croatian National Bank.

In the 15th century, lace-making originated in Europe, laying the foundation for what would be considered priceless cultural heritage centuries later. Initially, lace was created by lace-makers for the clergy and the nobility, but it eventually became a part of the folk culture. It adorned traditional women’s clothing and household linens, but over the years, it faced the threat of being forgotten. Awareness of the necessity to preserve it resulted in numerous schools, workshops and courses through which the tradition continued to be passed down from generation to generation. It also received recognition through UNESCO’s proclamation and a place on the representative list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

The design of the gold collector euro coin “Lace-making in Croatia” is the work of the Croatian academic sculptor Stjepan Divković. The obverse of the collector coin depicts stylized motifs of lace from Pag, Lepoglava and Hvar, each distinct in terms of their stitching or crocheting techniques and the materials used. The reverse side of the coin features the design of St. Mary’s lace, known for its unique characteristic of being made from a single continuous thread.
