Yugoslavia hosted the 29th Chess Olympiad in Novi Sad in November 1990 — a deeply awkward moment, as the country was already fracturing along the fault lines that would produce full-scale war within a year. The organizing committee pressed ahead regardless, and the commemorative coin program went with it.
At 3.5 grams of .900 gold, this is a small piece by commemorative standards, consistent with the Yugoslav mint's approach to affordable gold issues throughout the 1980s.
