MARKING THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SENJ GLAGOLITIC PRINTING HOUSE – THE COMMEMORATIVE POSTAGE STAMP AND COIN
Marin Buovac
Abstract
The 500th anniversary of the founding of the Glagolitic printing house in Senj, as an exceptionally valuable cultural and historical event, was immortalised in 1994 on philatelic and numismatic material - on the official money and postage stamps of the Republic of Croatia. It is, in fact, philately and numismatics that, in a characteristic way with their contributions and achievements, are successfully preserving such valuable events and anniversaries from the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Croats. What’s more, with their influence and achievements as a kind of propaganda medium, they are successfully popularising all cultural and historical treasures throughout the country and the world. In this text, the author presents the perpetuation of this historical event on philatelic and numismatic material.
