| Additional information |
The 1955 Yugoslav 10 Dinara belongs to the first coinage series issued after the country's rupture with the Soviet bloc — Tito's break with Stalin in 1948 had set Yugoslavia on a path of non-aligned socialism, and the state's name on coins shifted accordingly. The "FNR" legend — Federativna Narodna Republika — was already becoming politically dated by the mid-1950s, as constitutional revisions were consolidating Tito's distinct model of self-management socialism. A new constitution in 1963 would rename the state the SFRY, rendering this inscription obsolete within a decade of striking.
