| Reverse description | The central design presents a finely detailed depiction of the elaborate Romanesque-Gothic south portal of St. Mark's Church in Zagreb, shown frontally with its richly decorated archivolt, pilasters, and double-leaf door. A small patriarchal cross mint mark appears at the base of the portal. The circular legend, separated by decorative dot-and-bead motifs, reads 'ZAGREBACKA BISKUPIJA' along the upper arc and 'GRAD ZAGREB' continuing around, with the commemorative dates '1094.' and '1994.' flanking the lower field to mark the 900th anniversary of the Zagreb bishopric. |

| Additional information |
Croatia's independence declaration in June 1991 triggered immediate war with Yugoslav federal forces, and the new state's monetary infrastructure was built almost simultaneously with its military defense. The kuna — revived from medieval Croatian currency — was introduced in May 1994, making this 200 kuna issue among the earliest commemorative silver struck under the new monetary system.
The KM#29.1 and KM#29.2 variants differ in edge inscription, a distinction that trips up collectors who overlook it at purchase.
