| Reverse description | The large numeral '1' dominates the central field in bold relief, indicating the face value of one dinar. A continuous circular legend encircles the numeral, reading ДИНАР·DINAR·ДИНАР·DINAR· in alternating Cyrillic and Latin script separated by raised dots, conveying the denomination in both official scripts of Yugoslavia. The date of issue appears at the bottom of the field below the numeral. The design is framed by a beaded inner border running along the full circumference. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia's dinar was under sustained inflationary pressure throughout the early 1980s, driven by a foreign debt crisis that had ballooned to over $20 billion USD by 1981. The federation's decentralized economic structure — each republic managing its own enterprises with soft budget constraints — made coordinated monetary policy nearly impossible. By the mid-point of this coin's production run, a 1-dinar piece was functionally worthless in daily commerce.
The alloy choice reflects a cost-conscious mint responding to a depreciating currency; nickel brass was cheaper to source and strike than the earlier aluminum-bronze compositions.
