Additional information

Ragusa — modern Dubrovnik — maintained its independence for centuries through careful diplomacy and strategic tribute payments to both the Ottoman Empire and, later, Habsburg powers simultaneously. The Poluvižlin series was produced specifically to support that tribute system, denominated to integrate with Ottoman accounting conventions while remaining silver coinage of the Republic. The 1747–48 date range is narrow, and surviving examples outside Croatian and Slovenian collections are genuinely uncommon.
