Official Croatian Euro Coin Set: Karlovac (Limited Edition UNC)

Product Description:

Discover the "City of Four Rivers" with this official Croatian Euro Set dedicated to Karlovac. Founded in 1579 as a strategic military stronghold, Karlovac is a masterpiece of Renaissance planning and historical resilience.

The Story of Karlovac:

  • The Six-Pointed Star: The city is famous for its unique hexagonal floor plan, a perfect example of Renaissance fortification architecture designed to defend against the Ottoman threat. This strategic design was so effective that the city was never conquered.

  • A Renaissance Stronghold: Established by order of Archduke Charles II Francis of Austria, it served as a critical point of defense for the region.

  • Economic Hub: In 1776, it became a free royal city, flourishing in the 18th and 19th centuries through trade and shipping on its surrounding rivers.

  • Dubovac Castle: This landmark features a 13th-century fortress that was later transformed into a Renaissance castle with Gothic elements during the reign of the Frankopan family.
