| Additional information |
Yugoslavia hosted the 29th Chess Olympiad in Novi Sad in November 1990 — one of the last major international events the country would stage before dissolving into war. The timing was grimly ironic: FIDE brought together teams from across the globe to compete peacefully in a federation that would cease to exist within months.
The .925 silver content places this among the better-composition commemoratives of the period, when many Eastern Bloc issues had shifted toward cheaper alloys.
