| Obverse description | Central field depicts a detailed frontal view of the Vukovar civic building, a grand neoclassical structure with arched ground-floor windows and an onion-domed tower visible above the roofline. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia state emblem — a torch encircled by wheat sheaves and bearing a five-pointed star — appears in the upper right field. The denomination '500' is prominently displayed at the bottom center of the field, with the multilingual value legend 'ДИНАРА · DINARA · DINARJEV · ДИНАРИ' inscribed below. The date '1980' is positioned to the right of the emblem. A bilingual circular legend reading 'SFR JUGOSLAVIJA · СФР ЈУГОСЛАВИЈА' runs along the upper periphery in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts. |

| Additional information |
The Vukovar Congress of 1920 was the founding congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia — an event the state waited sixty years to commemorate in silver, timing the issue to coincide with the death of Tito and the broader consolidation of socialist legitimacy that his passing forced the Party to perform publicly. Yugoslavia minted prolifically in this period, producing dozens of commemorative issues through the late 1970s and early 1980s, many in .925 silver at this exact specification, creating a series more popular with date collectors than specialists.
