| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '50' dominates the central field in large, bold relief characters. Above the numeral, the word 'ПАРА' is inscribed in Cyrillic script, while below it the word 'PARA' appears in Latin script, together providing the bilingual denomination designation. The date '1995' is engraved along the lower portion of the field, flanked by small decorative dots. The entire design is framed by a continuous raised bead border running along the inner rim. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia's 1995 coinage exists in the wreckage of one of the worst hyperinflationary episodes in recorded history. The dinar had collapsed so catastrophically in 1993–94 — at its peak, monthly inflation exceeded two million percent — that the National Bank was forced to issue a new dinar in January 1994, redenominated at one billion to one. This 50 Para piece belongs to the fragile stabilization that followed, a coinage system issued into a country that would itself cease to exist within a few years. The ЈНБ logo distinguishes it from the earlier KM#163 variant struck without it.
