| Additional information |
Yugoslavia's 1993 coinage was issued during one of the worst hyperinflationary episodes in recorded history. By year's end, monthly inflation had exceeded two million percent, and the dinar was being redenominated so rapidly that this 2-dinar piece was effectively worthless within weeks of striking. The National Bank issued five distinct redenominations between 1990 and 1994.
Most examples survived uncirculated not through careful preservation but because the denomination became economically irrelevant before it could wear.
