Reverse description Printed in red on cream paper, the reverse carries a large vignette of the Yugoslav state coat of arms at the left — a torch flame above a crossed hammer and wheat sheaf on a shield, encircled by a six-pointed star wreath with the date '29-XI-1943' on a ribbon — set against a dense guilloche background. The central field lists the six constituent republics in Cyrillic and Latin scripts. To the right, a numeral '2' enclosed within an ornamental guilloche panel is accompanied by the word for 'dinar' in four official languages.

Comments

The "Informbiro" designation attached to this note refers to the Cominform crisis of 1948, when Yugoslavia's expulsion from the Soviet-led information bureau triggered a rupture that left the Narodna Banka holding printed currency it could never release. This 2 Dinara series was ready — ZIN had done its job — but the political fallout from Tito's break with Stalin forced a redesign, and the 1950 issue was shelved before distribution.

Unissued survivors reached collectors primarily through institutional leakage decades later, not through any formal release.
