| Obverse description | Against a deeply mirrored proof field, the denomination '150' is rendered in large bold numerals at the centre, with the currency name 'KUNA' inscribed immediately below in smaller capitals. The Croatian coat of arms — a shield bearing the characteristic red-and-white chequered pattern surmounted by a crown of five historical shields — is positioned in the lower field. The circular legend 'REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA' arcs around the upper periphery in spaced Latin capitals. |

The engraver's initials 'KK' appear in the lower right field. The circular legend 'FIFA SVJETSKO NOGOMETNO PRVENSTVO · NJEMAČKA' arcs around the upper periphery, with the year '2006' inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Croatia qualified for the 2006 World Cup in Germany after finishing second in UEFA Group 8, then defeating Norway in the playoff. They exited in the group stage — beaten by the host nation in a match decided by a Podolski brace — making this commemorative issue something of a premature celebration in hindsight.
