Two small lozenge-shaped ornaments flank the eagle in the field at mid-height, and a decorative foliate ornament appears below the legend at the bottom of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Serbia in 1942 was under German military occupation, with the puppet government of Milan Nedić operating under close Wehrmacht supervision. The zinc composition was not a wartime expedient chosen by Serbian authorities — it was a German-mandated material allocation, consistent with occupation coinage policies imposed across occupied Europe to reserve copper and nickel for the German war economy.
The Serbian National Bank name on this issue is somewhat nominal; effective monetary control rested with German occupation authorities throughout this period.
