| Reverse description | The central field features a stylised chessboard pattern of alternating raised and recessed squares, overlaid by an architectural rendering of the clock tower of Novi Sad City Hall, the host city of the 29th Chess Olympiad. The date 1990 appears above the tower, with the mint mark of the Belgrade Mint visible in the lower central field. The bilingual legend 29. ŠAHOVSKA OLIMPIJADA (in Latin script, upper arc) and THE 29th CHESS OLYMPIAD (lower arc) frames the design, with NOVI SAD inscribed to the left of the tower. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia hosted the 29th Chess Olympiad in Novi Sad in November 1990 — an event that proved to be one of the last major international occasions the country would present to the world as a unified state. Within a year, the declarations of independence by Slovenia and Croatia had begun the federation's terminal unraveling. The Soviet Union fielded its final team here before dissolving; it won gold.
