| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field bears the coat of arms of the Republic of Croatia, with the denomination 500 KUNA inscribed below. A commemorative legend arcs along the upper periphery reading OSIJEK 1196 - 1996., denoting the 800th anniversary of the city, while the issuer's name REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA is inscribed along the lower rim. The design is executed in a clean, modern engraved style typical of late 20th-century Croatian commemorative coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a panoramic view of the historic city of Osijek situated along the banks of the River Drava, with a bridge connecting the two shores rendered in fine detail. Two sailing vessels are depicted on the river, one navigating mid-stream and one moored near the shore, evoking the city's historical role as a river port. In the lower left quadrant, a small circular cartouche contains the coat of arms of the City of Osijek. The overall composition is rendered in a detailed engraved style celebrating the city's medieval heritage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Osijek's founding date of 1196 is derived from a medieval charter, though the settlement itself — positioned at a strategic Drava River crossing — had been continuously occupied long before any document formalized it. The 800th anniversary issue appeared just four years after Croatian independence, when commemorative coinage served an intensely political function: asserting historical depth for a state whose international recognition was barely years old.
The .986 fineness is notably purer than the .900 gold standard common to most European commemoratives of the period.
