The world of fairy tales would be a less imaginative place if Ivana Brli\u0107-Ma\u017eurani\u0107, an exceptional Croatian writer, had not left her mark on it. Her fairy tales have marked generations, not only in Croatia but also worldwide. Gifted in many ways, especially in foreign languages, she began writing poetry, essays, and journals at a very young age. She captured the literary audience’s attention in 1913 with the novel “\u010cudnovate zgode \u0161egrta Hlapi\u0107a” (“The Wonderful Adventures of Hlapich”), and her most famous work, the collection of folk tales “Pri\u010de iz davnine” (“Tales from Long Ago”), was published in 1916. Today, it represents the crown jewel of Croatian children’s literature.<\/p>\n

The Croatian academic sculptor Kuzma Kova\u010di\u0107, known for his conceptual designs of Croatian kuna and lipa coins, endeavored to capture a piece of the magic of her unforgettable work on numismatic coins. With great respect for the writer, he created a portrait of Ivana Brli\u0107-Ma\u017eurani\u0107 in his distinctive lyrical style, faithfully reflecting the spirit of her works. On the reverse side of the coin is a symbolic scene from her fairy tales “Tales from Long Ago,” with a large tree in the forest under which stands a mythical character, one of the many characters from her stories.<\/p>\n
