Comment
This silver coin is a part of the first Croatian collector euro coins set. Released for sale on 18/04/2023.Croatian soldiers who fought under the French flag in the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century wore a scarf around the neck, better known today as a cravat, which immediately attracted the attention of the French, and the fact that even the young French king Louis XIV started wearing the cravat speaks volumes about its acceptance. After him, all the French quickly embraced it and wore it “à la croate”, i.e. in the Croatian way, and this very inscription adorns the numismatic coin “Contour Necktie”, as a kind of homage to this iconic fashion and cultural item.
Interesting fact
