| Additional information |
Issued the year before Yugoslavia's federal presidency began its terminal unravel, this commemorative honors Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, the 19th-century linguist who standardized the Serbian language and reformed the Cyrillic alphabet against fierce opposition from the Orthodox Church establishment. His work drew directly on spoken vernacular rather than Church Slavonic, a radical methodological choice at the time.
KM#130 was struck in a limited commemorative run — not intended for circulation — at a moment when Yugoslavia's dinar was already succumbing to the inflation that would eventually make the denomination printed on this coin almost meaningless in base metal.
