| Additional information |
Juraj Julije Klović — known across Renaissance Europe as "Giulio Clovio" — was a Croatian-born illuminator working primarily in Italy whose miniature work was so highly regarded that Giorgio Vasari called him the Michelangelo of small works. He spent years under the patronage of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, producing the Farnese Hours, now held at the Morgan Library in New York. Croatia issued this coin in 1998 as part of a broader commemorative program celebrating figures of Croatian cultural heritage ahead of the country's post-independence international repositioning.
