"DUBROVNIK KARAKA"

In cooperation with the Croatian Monetary Institute, the Croatian National Bank launched a series of commemorative coins "OLD CROATIAN SHIPS", in order to honour and popularise the centuries-old Croatian shipbuilding tradition and emphasise the maritime orientation of the Republic of Croatia.
The first in the series of commemorative silver coins is dedicated to the Dubrovnik karaka, a sailing ship built in Dubrovnik in the 15^th century, which ranked as one of the largest cargo ships of the time.
The commemorative silver coin was minted in proof condition and was released for sale on 25 February 2008.
