Marko Šarinić orcid.org/0000-0002-7736-2582 ; Croatian numismatic society, Zagreb, CRO

Abstract

The article gives a short biography of Baron Franjo Trenk, a figure from Croatian
history, well known especially in Croatia, but also abroad. It is the first description of a
rare screw back (schraub) medal showing Baron Trenk and his pandurs (paramilitary
troops). The mere existence of such a medal shows how popular Baron Trenk was in
his lifetime.
