| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1963–1992 version) occupies the central field, depicting a torch-bearing wreath of six flames representing the constituent republics, set against a stylised sunburst. The arms are encircled by a full peripheral legend in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts giving the full state name, with the founding date 23.XI.1943 incorporated at the base of the inscription. |

| 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.
