Descrizione del rovescio	A bold, finely modeled truncated bust of Josip Broz Tito facing left fills the central field, rendered in high relief with strong portraiture typical of Yugoslav commemorative coinage. The legend arcs around the upper periphery in Latin script, identifying Tito as patron of the VIII Mediterranean Games, while the lower legend names the host city and year of the games.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Yugoslavia hosted the Mediterranean Games in Split in 1979, the first time the event was held in a socialist country. The organizing committee pushed hard for commemorative gold issues partly as hard currency earners — Yugoslavia's chronic balance-of-payments problems made foreign-exchange-generating numismatic exports a genuine economic tool, not an afterthought. The .900 fineness places this outside the standard fine gold (.999) issues more familiar to modern collectors, a deliberate continuity with pre-war European coin traditions that Yugoslav state mints maintained through this period.
