| Reverse description | The reverse presents a sharply rendered left-facing bust of Josip Broz Tito in high relief, depicted in military uniform with collar insignia visible at the truncation. The portrait is boldly modeled with strong facial features, conveying authority and gravitas in a style consistent with official Yugoslav commemorative coinage. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional legends or inscriptions, allowing the effigy to dominate the design. The coin was struck to Proof standard, giving the mirrored field a sharp contrast against the frosted portrait surfaces. |

| 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.
