Issued by the Republic of Croatia in 1996, this commemorative stamp honors the 9th-century Benedictine monk Gottschalk, known for his presence at the court of Duke Trpimir around the year 846. The design, by Keser, presents a stylized medieval illustration of the monk, bordered in vivid pink and green inspired by illuminated manuscripts. The inscription references the historical record of Gottschalk’s stay in Croatia, an early cultural link between the region and the broader Carolingian intellectual world. A desirable thematic item for collectors of Croatian history, medieval studies, or religious personalities.
