100 Yugoslav Dinar #592

Front

Allegorical composition depicting a male worker and female peasant in Socialist Realist style, representing the unity of industrial workers and agricultural laborers in Socialist Yugoslavia. The figures symbolize the working class foundation of the Socialist Federal Republic. This iconographic motif was standard on Yugoslav banknotes during the socialist era, emphasizing the state ideology of workers' solidarity and collective labor. The note is trilingual, reflecting Yugoslavia's multinational character with Cyrillic, Latin, and Macedonian Cyrillic scripts.

Back

Geometric denomination design with ornamental rosette at center displaying '500' within elaborate guilloche patterns and lathe-work borders. The reverse emphasizes the federal structure with the full name of the state repeated in Latin and Cyrillic scripts: 'Socijalistička Federativna Republika Jugoslavija' (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). Security text at bottom warns of punishment for counterfeiting according to law. The symmetrical design with repeated denominations in corners follows standard socialist-era Yugoslav banknote formatting.

History

This note belongs to the 1981 issue series of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRJ), printed by the state banknote works in Belgrade (Zavod za izradu novčanica). The date '4.XI.1981.' indicates November 4, 1981 as the issue date. The serial number CF 0047122 follows the standard Yugoslav format with two-letter prefix. This series circulated during the final decade of Socialist Yugoslavia, before the country's dissolution began in 1991. The 100 dinara denomination was a mid-range value during this period. The note features trilingual text (Serbo-Croatian in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts, plus Macedonian Cyrillic) reflecting the federal structure and equality of Yugoslav nations and nationalities. This series was withdrawn with the 1990 currency reform during hyperinflation and is now demonetized.
