Yugoslavia's 1994 coinage was struck during one of the worst hyperinflationary episodes in recorded history. By January 1994, the dinar was being redenominated for the fourth time in under a decade, and monthly inflation had reached approximately 313 million percent. A 10 para coin was, in any practical sense, worthless before it left the mint.
The KM#162.1 designation distinguishes this from the near-identical KM#162.2 variant by a detail in the coin's edge or die finishing — worth noting for specialists working through late Yugoslav minor coinage.
