| Additional information |
Ragusa's final silver coinage. The Republic was abolished by Napoleon in 1806, making this brief issue — struck across only three years — among the last acts of a polity that had maintained independence for nearly five centuries through careful diplomacy, strategic neutrality, and the occasional well-placed bribe. The Napoleonic reorganization of the Adriatic rendered the city-state politically inconvenient.
KM#27 is the definitive attribution, though examples vary noticeably in strike quality owing to the Republic's diminished mint capacity in its closing years.
