Halubje Bell Ringers, one of Croatia\u2019s most recognizable traditions and a part of UNESCO\u2019s intangible cultural heritage, have been marching through coastal regions for centuries. Dressed in distinctive sheepskin coats, wearing imposing masks on their heads, and carrying loud bells around their waists, they perform a ritual that invokes fertility, protects the community from evil forces, and preserves a rich cultural legacy passed down through generations.<\/p>\n

The design of this collector issue is the work of the talented artist\u00a0Chiara Principe<\/strong>, who, in collaboration with the\u00a0Croatian Mint<\/strong>\u00a0and representatives of the\u00a0Halubajski Zvon\u010dari Association<\/strong>, has created coins that uniquely capture the power, rhythm, and symbolism of this ancient tradition.<\/p>\n
