| Obverse description | Brown intaglio on cream paper over an elaborate guilloche underprint; the bank title and issuer name in large letterpress text span the upper centre, with the denomination stated in Serbian, Slovenian and Macedonian within a central medallion. To the right, a sculptural vignette of two heroic worker figures — a man raising a torch and a woman bearing a sheaf — is engraved against a finely cross-hatched background. Two facsimile signatures designated VICEGUVERNER and GUVERNER appear below the central text panel flanking the place and date BEOGRAD 1950, with denomination numerals 1000 at all four corners and a repeating micro-text legend bordering the note on all sides. |

The "Informbiro" designation marks this 1950 note as one of the most politically loaded unissued pieces in Yugoslav numismatics. Following Tito's break with Stalin in 1948 — the Cominform Resolution that expelled Yugoslavia from the Soviet bloc — the Yugoslav government quietly prepared a new currency series but then shelved it entirely, almost certainly as part of the broader economic and political reorganization that followed. The notes were printed at ZIN in Belgrade but never released.
Surviving examples come from a small number that escaped destruction, presumably during later archive dispersals.
