| Additional information |
Yugoslavia hosted the 36th World Table Tennis Championships in Novi Sad in April 1981, the first time the tournament had been held in the country. The decision to issue a commemorative coin for a table tennis championship was unusual by any standard — the sport rarely earned that kind of official recognition from socialist states, despite its genuine popularity throughout Eastern Europe and strong Yugoslav competitive results during the period.
The .750 fineness is characteristic of Yugoslav commemorative silver from this era, a deliberate step below sterling that kept production costs manageable for a country increasingly strained by foreign debt obligations that would eventually trigger the 1983 IMF restructuring.
