| Obverse description | Central field features a canoeist in action, depicted in low relief within an oval cartouche flanked by two stylized globes, symbolizing the international character of the championship. Above the central device, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia state emblem — comprising a torch surrounded by wheat sheaves bound with a ribbon in the national colors — is prominently displayed. The date 1982 and the venue inscription BEOGRAD appear in the upper field to the right of the emblem. The denomination 1500, followed by the legends ДИНАРА · DINARA · DINARJEV · ДИНАРИ in four languages, is inscribed in the lower field. A bilingual circular legend in Latin and Cyrillic scripts, SFR JUGOSLAVIJA · СФР ЈУГОСЛАВИЈА, runs along the outer border, with decorative stops separating the two forms. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia issued a small series of commemorative silver pieces in the early 1980s tied to international sporting events hosted within its borders, part of a broader effort to project stability and internationalism under the collective presidency that followed Tito's death in 1980. The 1982 World Canoe Championships were held on the Tara River in Montenegro — one of Europe's deepest canyons and a UNESCO-protected waterway.
Mintages for this type were modest and directed largely at the collector market rather than circulation.
