Trial strikes of this type were produced internally by the Zavod za izradu novčanica — Yugoslavia's state currency and security printing facility in Topčider, Belgrade — as part of the evaluation process before a design was approved for circulation. This particular piece predates the standard 1-dinar coin that entered circulation in 1982, suggesting the type went through an extended approval cycle. Pattern and trial material from socialist Yugoslavia rarely left official channels, which explains why survivorship is low and provenance tends to trace back to a handful of institutional sources.
