| Reverse description | Central depiction of the Croatian national football team posed in a traditional squad photograph, with players shown in two rows — five seated in the foreground and six standing behind — each wearing numbered jerseys. Beneath the team portrait, a colour-enamelled Croatian national flag is prominently displayed in red, white, and blue, bearing the characteristic red-and-white chequered coat of arms at its centre. The circumferential legend reads '3 PLACE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP 1998 CROATIA' along the upper border and '3rd · ONE DOLLAR ·' along the lower border, all in raised Latin lettering within the milled border. |

Croatia's third-place finish at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France was a genuine surprise — the nation was competing in only its second World Cup as an independent state, and Davor Šuker's six goals earned him the Golden Boot. Cook Islands issued a wave of commemorative dollars throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s capitalizing on major sporting events, producing them in large themed series with modest silver content for the collector market rather than circulation.
