A basketball backboard and hoop are visible in the right background, rendered in fine incuse lines. The legend DRAŽEN PETROVIĆ arcs along the lower left periphery in raised Latin letters, and the date 2024. appears vertically along the right field. |

Croatia's decision to issue a commemorative denomination in euros rather than a round figure is deliberate: Petrović wore number 3 for much of his career, and 3 multiplied across his three defining basketball contexts — Yugoslav national team, Real Madrid, and the New Jersey Nets — yields the 9 euros issued alongside this 8-euro piece, the 8 referencing his Nets jersey number. The Croatian National Bank structured the series around his numbers rather than numismatic convention.
Petrović died in a road accident on the Munich–Salzburg autobahn in June 1993, aged 28, at the precise moment his NBA career had reached its peak — he had averaged 22.3 points per game the prior season.
