| Obverse description | The left panel carries the Croatian coat of arms (the red-and-white chequy shield with five smaller shields in the crown), a serial number block, the year 2015 in script, and the denomination numeral '1 ŠOLD' set within a vignette of a blue EU-star flag motif; the right panel presents a full-colour photographic portrait of a dark-haired woman in a black outfit against a pink and violet abstract underprint. Descriptive text in Croatian script occupies the upper centre, identifying Split as the largest city of Dalmatia and the administrative seat of Splitsko-dalmatinska County. A cursive quotation 'Ja samo pjevam' appears in the lower centre of the right panel. |

| Comments |
A modern fantasy piece issued by the City of Split in 2015, this has no historical monetary function and was never legal tender. Such civic fantasy notes have become increasingly common across Croatian municipalities as collectibles or promotional items, sometimes tied to local festivals or tourism initiatives.
The šold is an archaic Dalmatian unit of account derived from the Italian soldo, last used in serious commerce under Austro-Hungarian administration. Invoking it here is purely nostalgic branding.
