Located in the northern Adriatic sea, Susak is known for its unique geological structure, shallow sandy bays and rich cultural heritage. This small island is most recognizable for its unique traditional costume, which is as vivid as it is short! Today, it is considered the shortest traditional costume in Europe, and probably in the world. Young women on Susak wear short, colourful skirts with pink or orange woollen socks, making this costume extremely striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vivid colours of the traditional costume have been transferred also to the coins. The one-ounce (31.103 grams) gold coin and the two-ounce (62.207 grams) silver coin are available in 200 and 400 pieces respectively, with coloured details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obverse of the coin features a cartographic representation of the island of Susak, Cape Darto with a chapel, while the reverse of the coin showcases the ceremonial traditional costume of Susak. These coins are not just collector\u2019s items but also a reflection of Croatia\u2019s rich cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special symbolism of this issue is further emphasized by the celebration of Emigrant Day, which takes place on the last weekend of July on the island of Susak. This year, on July 28, 2024, the Croatian Mint will participate in the event, contributing to the festivities by presenting its new coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
