500 Dinara Anniversary of Vukovar Congress

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.
