Sažetak
As far as we know, the Blessed Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac was only portrayed twice on medals in his lifetime, although he was depicted several more times after his death. The earliest portrait was made in the late 1930s by sculptor and medal maker Rudolf Spiegler in Zagreb. During the Second World War, the greatest Croatian medallist Ivo Kerdić made the Archbishop's medal on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Stepinac’ being ordained bishop. Later Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac was immortalised on a medal by Dr. Zlatko Dragutin Tuđina, whose medals were a great success with Croatian emigrees. Two years after Z. Tuđina, Alojzije Stepinac was put on a medal by the well-known Croatian sculptor and medal maker Velibor Mačukatin, and subsequently also by two renowned sculptors - Ante Orlić and Josip Poljan. When Croatia became independent, the portrait of Alojzije Stepinac was presented on medals or special coin issues by four of the best contemporary medallists: Stjepan Divković, Kažimir Hraste, Kuzma Kovačić and Damir Mataušić. In 1998, for the 100th anniversary of the birth of Blessed Alojzie and his beatification, several medals were made. The National Bank of Croatia commissioned the State Mint (Croatian Monetary Institute) to strike a series of two coins for the occasion. The first one in gold, with the nominal value of HRK 500, was made by Kuzma Kovačić (cat. No. 22), and the second one, with the denomination of HRK 150, was made by Kažimir Hraste (cat. No. 21), both exquisite masters and well known sculptors and medallists. We are quite certain that Blessed Alojzije will also appear on medals and coins in the future.
