4 Euros Gajeta Falkuša

Croatia adopted the euro in January 2023, making it the twentieth member of the eurozone — and almost immediately the Croatian National Bank began issuing collector pieces in denominations that do not exist in everyday circulation. The 4 euro denomination is specific to these numismatic issues and has no transactional value within the monetary system. The gajeta falkuša is a double-ended wooden sailing vessel native to the island of Vis, one of the few traditional Adriatic boat types still built by hand using methods largely unchanged since the medieval period.
