| Obverse description | Central raised inner field depicting a stylized architectural view of the Hilandar (Chilandar) Monastery, with the Serbian double-headed eagle coat of arms surmounting the composition at the top. The inscriptions МАНАСТИР (left) and ХИЛАНДАР (right) appear flanking the monastery facade within the inner field, with the founding and commemorative dates 1198 and 1998 flanking a decorative Byzantine cross-quatrefoil ornament in the lower portion. A wide polished border carries the Cyrillic legend САВЕЗНА РЕПУБЛИКА ЈУГОСЛАВИЈА arcing along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1500 · НОВИХ ДИНАРА · appears prominently along the lower border in relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved icon-style composition depicting the busts of two monastic saints — Saint Simeon (Stefan Nemanja) and Saint Sava of Serbia — rendered in the Byzantine iconographic tradition with elongated features, long beards, and monastic vestments. The two figures face slightly toward each other, with symbolic Cyrillic inscriptions identifying each saint positioned to the left and right of the respective figures. Floral acanthus-leaf motifs decorate the lower portion of the inner field, and a triangular nimbus element appears at the top center above the paired figures. The field is satin-finished against a plain raised rim, with no peripheral legend. |
