| Additional information |
The Battle of the Neretva — officially "Case White" to the Germans — was a 1943 Axis offensive designed to destroy Tito's Partisans in Bosnia. Outnumbered and encircled, the Partisans broke through by crossing the Neretva River after deliberately destroying their own bridge to halt Chetnik pursuit from the south. The Yugoslav government commemorated the engagement repeatedly, including a 1969 film that received an Academy Award nomination. This coin was issued as part of a broader series celebrating Partisan victories, timed roughly to the battle's fortieth anniversary.
