25 Euros Lace-making in Croatia

Čipkarstvo — the tradition of lacemaking practiced in Lepoglava, Hvar, and Pag — was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2009, one of Croatia's earliest entries in that register. The Pag variety in particular uses a technique so geographically isolated that it is considered distinct even within Croatian tradition, worked without any supporting pillow and passed through unbroken female lineage for centuries.

The Croatian National Bank has issued collector gold in this denomination series to spotlight UNESCO-recognized national heritage, with each release tied to a specific inscription rather than a broad cultural theme.
