The coin’s surface is by a special minting technique divided into four jigsaw pieces, symbolising the fields of the state coat of arms, two of which, placed one opposite the other, are matted and crossed with thin vertical lines. The other two opposite pieces are lustrous. The matted jigsaw piece in the upper left section of the coin’s ring bears the Croatian legend “REPUBLIKA HRVATSKA”, inscribed in negative, and the opposite piece depicts an image of a marten turned to the right. The lustrous piece in the lower left section of the ring shows a matted blooming laurel branch and the opposite lustrous piece features a matted common oak twig with acorns.
