| Obverse description | Central field depicts a colorful group of five Zvončari (bell ringers) in full traditional carnival costume, rendered in applied polychrome color: figures are clad in shaggy sheepskin garments with striped bodices, wearing horned animal-mask headdresses, and are shown in animated processional poses. A decorated carnival banner or staff rises centrally among the figures. The denomination '100 EURO' appears in raised relief in the lower field. The legend 'REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin characters, flanked by raised dot stops. |

| Additional information |
The Halubje bell ringers — known locally as the zvončari — practice a pre-Lenten ritual centered on the village of Halubje in the Kastav region of the Kvarner area. The tradition, inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2009, involves processions of men wearing sheepskin cloaks and large cowbells, the noise intended to drive off winter and evil spirits. Croatia has leaned heavily on UNESCO recognitions as rationale for its collector gold program, with this issue continuing a pattern of documenting intangible heritage in precious metal before younger generations lose direct contact with the practice.
