Reverse descriptionOn the reverse of the commemorative silver coin in the central part is a depiction of the sarcophagus of the Good Shepherd, on which the basic motif is a shepherd with a saved sheep on his shoulders, according to Christ`s parable of the lost sheep and the shepherd who leaves the flock to find it. The sarcophagus was found in the middle of the 19th century at the Manastirine site in Solin and dates from the beginning of the fourth century, and today it is housed in the Archaeological Museum in Split. In a semicircle, in the upper half of the coin, there is the inscription `REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA`, with the coat of arms of the Republic of Croatia shown between the two words. Below the display of the sarcophagus there is a mark of the nominal value of the commemorative silver coin `200`, and below the mark there is the name of the monetary unit `KUNA`
