Reverse description The right side of the reverse carries a vignette of industrial workers engaged in labour, rendered in an intaglio style consistent with Socialist Realist iconography. To the left, a still-life grouping of a sickle, hammer, anvil, gear wheel, and metal profile serves as an emblematic reference to the Yugoslav working classes. The denomination 5000 appears in multiple languages alongside the names of the six constituent republics of the federation.

Comments

Designed, engraved, and printed entirely domestically, this 5000 Dinara note was never placed into circulation — the "N" suffix in Pick's numbering denotes an unissued remainder. Yugoslavia's post-war monetary reform was still lurching through its early stages in 1950, and denominations at this level were politically sensitive in an economy trying to suppress inflationary psychology after the chaos of occupation-era currency proliferation.

Krnjajić's engraving work for ZIN during this period is well regarded among specialists. Unissued notes from this series survive in higher numbers than circulated Yugoslav paper of the same era, which affects collector premiums accordingly.
