| Obverse description | The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia state emblem occupies the central field, depicting a torch with a flame rising above a wreath of wheat sheaves bound by a ribbon bearing the founding date '29·XI·1943'. A five-pointed star surmounts the emblem at the apex. The bilingual legend arcs around the periphery, reading 'СФР ЈУГОСЛАВИЈА' in Cyrillic at the top and 'SFR JUGOSLAVIJA' in Latin at the bottom, separated by small ornamental crosses. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia struck this long-running small denomination through a period of considerable internal economic strain, including the liberalizing reforms of 1965 that decentralized the planned economy and triggered a sharp devaluation of the dinar. The 10 para retained nominal purchasing power long after inflation had rendered it practically worthless in daily transactions — a fate common to Yugoslav subunit coinage by the late 1970s.
The aluminium-brass alloy was a deliberate cost-control choice, cheaper than the nickel compositions used on higher denominations.
