| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina — a shield bearing a diagonal band with fleur-de-lis, supported by scrolled ornamental mantling — is prominently displayed in the upper field. Beneath the arms, a detailed view of the historic Old Bridge (Stari Most) of Mostar spans a river, with buildings visible on either bank. The circular legend 'REPUBLIKA BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA' runs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The date '1995' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative star ornaments. |

| Additional information |
Bosnia and Herzegovina issued this coin while the country was still under active siege — the Dayton Agreement ending the war wasn't signed until December 1995, meaning this piece was authorized and struck while Sarajevo itself remained surrounded. The European Youth Olympics theme was almost certainly chosen to project normalcy and statehood rather than from any practical connection to sporting events the country was in no position to host.
