The legend is separated from the rim by a continuous border of raised beads running the full circumference of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Yugoslavia's 1994 coinage was issued during the worst hyperinflationary episode in recorded history — surpassing even Weimar Germany. The dinar lost so much value so rapidly that this 50 Para piece was economically worthless within weeks of issue, its purchasing power obliterated before most examples ever reached a cash register.
