| Reverse description | The central field features a bold sculptural scene commemorating the Second Session of AVNOJ held at Jajce on 29 November 1943, depicting a group of partisans in heroic motion carrying banners and documents against a stylized rocky mountain backdrop, rendered in high relief with a medal-like artistic quality. Olive branches flank the lower portion of the inner border on either side. The upper legend arcs around the rim in Latin script with the commemorative dates '29. XI 1943 - 29. XI 1968.' recording the 25th anniversary. The lower legend reads 'JAJCE' in Latin and 'ЈАЈЦЕ' in Cyrillic, separated by ornamental stops, identifying the historic Bosnian city where the republic was proclaimed. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia's 1968 anniversary fell during one of the most turbulent years in postwar European history — student protests had paralyzed Belgrade's university district that June, and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia followed in August. The commemorative program pressed forward regardless, the regime evidently more interested in projecting socialist continuity than acknowledging the instability on its doorstep.
The .925 fineness is notably high for a Yugoslav commemorative of this period; later issues in the series dropped to lower silver standards as hard currency reserves tightened through the 1970s.
