| Obverse description | The obverse depicts two traditional Croatian lateen-sailed vessels known as Gajeta Falkuša, rendered in fine detail with their distinctive triangular sails billowing as they sail across a stylized sea. The composition captures both boats in dynamic profile, emphasizing the graceful lines of the hull and rigging characteristic of this Dalmatian fishing tradition. The curved legend GAJETA FALKUŠA arcs along the upper rim in incuse Latin lettering, while the date 2025. appears in the lower field beneath the central maritime scene. |

Croatia adopted the euro in January 2023, making it the twentieth member of the eurozone — and almost immediately the Croatian National Bank began issuing collector pieces in denominations that do not exist in everyday circulation. The 4 euro denomination is specific to these numismatic issues and has no transactional value within the monetary system. The gajeta falkuša is a double-ended wooden sailing vessel native to the island of Vis, one of the few traditional Adriatic boat types still built by hand using methods largely unchanged since the medieval period.
