| Obverse description | The Croatian coat of arms is prominently displayed in the upper semicircle, rendered against a background of three horizontal lines that evoke the tricolor of the Croatian national flag. The surrounding legend, arranged in the field, bears inscriptions denoting the denomination, issuer, and commemorative dates. The design references the proclamation of Croatian statehood on 30 May 1990 and the fifth anniversary celebrated on 30 May 1995. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fourth anniversary of Croatian independence, declared on June 25, 1991, following the republic's secession from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The declaration triggered the Ten-Day War in Slovenia and set in motion a far longer conflict in Croatia itself, where fighting with Yugoslav federal forces and Serb paramilitaries would continue until 1995 — the same year this coin was struck.
The kuna currency had been reintroduced just two years earlier, in May 1993, reviving a name last used under the Ustasha regime of 1941–1945, a choice that drew pointed criticism internationally at the time of its adoption.
