| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of a peasant woman in a white headscarf occupies the left portion of the note, with a rural harvest scene — including a combine harvester working grain fields and a farmstead landscape — rendered in fine engraving behind her. To the lower centre, a still-life arrangement of grapes, corn, and other fruits forms a decorative vignette. The upper right carries the issuer name in three scripts (Cyrillic Serbian, Latin, and Cyrillic Macedonian) alongside the state coat of arms, with the denomination numeral 1000 set within an ornate guilloche underprint in gold and grey tones. |

P#86 spans an unusually long print run — notes dated across the 1974–1981 window share the same basic design but show minor typography and security thread variations that make date-specific attribution genuinely worthwhile for a specialist. ZIN had been refining its intaglio work through the 1970s, and Dragiša Andrić's engraving on this note is among the more technically accomplished domestic work of that period.
Yugoslavia's 1000-dinar denomination carried real purchasing weight when first issued but was significantly eroded by the chronic inflation that would eventually force the 1990 redenomination — a 10,000-to-1 exchange.
