Yugoslavia's 1938 coinage program came at a politically volatile moment — the country was operating under the authoritarian constitution imposed by Prince Regent Paul following the assassination of King Alexander in 1934. Petar II was nominally king from age eleven, but real power sat firmly with Paul until the coup of March 1941.
The aluminium bronze alloy used here was a deliberate cost-reduction choice common across interwar European states facing constrained budgets. This denomination saw only a brief circulating life before the April 1941 Axis invasion rendered Yugoslav coinage effectively obsolete within days.
