| Reverse description | Two wrestlers are depicted in dynamic relief at the centre of the field, one athlete pinning the other to the ground in a competitive grappling pose, rendered in a vigorous and naturalistic style. The partial legend XXVI ZIMSKE OLIMPIJSKE arcs along the upper periphery, with ATLANTA 1996 inscribed along the lower arc, flanked by five-pointed stars. The denomination D500 appears in the lower central field beneath the wrestling figures. The design commemorates the XXVI Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta in 1996. |

| Additional information |
Bosnia and Herzegovina issued this coin in 1996 while the country was barely a functioning state — the Dayton Agreement had been signed only months earlier, and the institutions capable of authorizing commemorative coinage were still being assembled from the wreckage of a four-year siege and civil war. That a numismatic program was operational at all is more remarkable than anything about the coin itself.
