A painting from the Franciscan Monastery at Dubrovnik is shown on the 5.00d. stamp. This votive painting by an unknown Dubrovnik mariner shows a type of 16th century vessel of that port. At first sight it appears to be a Japanese woodblock print type of art, but for the top right-hand corner. The crew seem to be in difficulties with the sail and it is not usual to find casks and planks floating around one's ship.
