The letters are written in “glagoljica”. This is the oldest slavic alphabet. Created in 9th century with the goal to spread christianity amongst slavic tribes.
And your brooch or pin spells “Croatia” in glagolitic script.

This is weird because it spells an English word “CROATIA” in the Glagolitic script, which was specifically designed for Slavic languages 1200 years ago. In Croatian, it would be HRVATSKA
It’s funny, because glagolitic script is used phonetically, so it should be “kroacia”.
It is Croatia, but written in glagolitic script – script invented in the early 9th century by Byzantine monks St. Cyril and Methodus (yes, that Cyril from which Cyrillic alphabet is denoted, but it was actually invented by Clement of Ohrid, who was one of Cyril’s disciples).
The alphabet endured for almost an entire millenium, mostly through Dalmatia and isolated communities such as on the island of Krk – Ottoman conquests and the counter reformations of the 16th and 17th centuries basically killed the script in continental Croatia, but it still preservered in Dalmatia through handwritten scripts.
Speaking of Krk, that was also the hidden location of the Baška Tablet (Bašćanska Ploča), the most famous glagolitic monument of its kind, over 900 years old, featuring the oldest known description of the Croats as an ethnic group, the oldest known Croatian text, and it also features details about Demetrius Zvonimir, the last king of Croatia until it was absorbed in the Kingdom of Hungary following his death in 1089, and his wife, Helen, ceding power over Croatia to Ladislaus I in 1105 – this is important, because Croatia would not gain its independence again until 1991 – a period of **886 years.**
Nadam se da kužite koliko je ovo cringe. Cringe bi bilo pisati i samo Hrvatska na glagoljici ili bilo koju suvremenu riječ, a tek Croatia 😂😂😂😂 cringe na ntu.
Thank you so much for all your answers! According to ChatGPT that meant Sith in Aurebesh Alphabet. After some reasearch I figured out it could be Glagolitic and tried to transliterate it, but still could not make sense of it, probably because the English spelling doesn’t make any sense indeed.
