| Reverse description | The denomination '5 DINARA' is displayed prominently in the central field in Latin script, with the year of issue '1963' positioned above. Seven five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc above the date, symbolising the seven constituent regions of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The reverse design is stark and unadorned, relying on bold typography against a plain field. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia's 1963 coinage reform introduced aluminum across several denominations as the country modernized its monetary system under the 1963 constitution — the same document that officially renamed the state the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and introduced the "SFRJ" designation that distinguishes this type from its predecessors. The switch to aluminum was partly economic, partly symbolic: a lightweight, cheap metal suited to high-volume production in a country still building its industrial base.
KM#38 is the first 5-dinar piece to carry the SFR legend, making it a one-year transitional type before subsequent revisions.
