| Reverse description | A bold left-facing portrait bust of Marshal Josip Broz Tito is rendered in high relief, depicting him in military uniform with a distinctive collar visible at the truncation. The surrounding legend is bilingual, with JOSIP BROZ TITO in Latin script along the left and ЈОСИП БРОЗ ТИТО in Cyrillic along the right. The commemorative dates 29.XI.1943 – 29.XI.1968, marking the 25th anniversary of the proclamation of the Federal Republic, arc across the upper field, separated by a central ornament. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 25th anniversary of the November 1943 AVNOJ session at Jajce, where the Anti-Fascist Council formally constituted Yugoslavia as a federal state and Tito's Partisans claimed legitimate governmental authority. The timing of the commemorative program was also politically convenient — 1968 was the year of the Prague Spring, and Yugoslavia, already outside the Warsaw Pact since the 1948 Tito-Stalin split, had reason to reaffirm its own distinct path to socialism.
Mintage was extremely limited, as with most Yugoslav gold commemoratives of this period, placing the coin firmly in the gift and diplomatic presentation category rather than any circulation function.
