Abstract

During World War One military and government offices initiated many actions to collect money from the population to supply the growing military needs. The state took care of the soldiers on the front lines and war materials in general, and civil societies took care of the soldiers’ families. Some of the assets were collected by selling patriotic objects. These medals and plaques were of the highest art value. Most of the items sold
in Croatia came from Vienna. A smaller number were designed by domestic artists in actions of charity societies, and these are the subject of this article.
