| Additional information |
Benedikt Kotruljevič (Benedetto Cotrugli) was a Ragusan merchant born in Dubrovnik around 1416 whose manuscript Della mercatura et del mercante perfetto, completed in 1458, outlined double-entry bookkeeping decades before Luca Pacioli published his far more famous treatment of the same system in 1494. Pacioli received the credit for generations. This coin was issued to mark the 550th anniversary of that manuscript's completion — a quiet act of historical correction by Croatia on behalf of a figure long overshadowed by Italian Renaissance fame.
