This specimen was lot 74720 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, November 2023), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "YUGOSLAVIA. 5 Dinara, 1945. PCGS MS-65. The sole finest example of the type graded by PCGS, this charming gem is rather beautiful, with handsome black surfaces and no signs of deposit of pest as is so common on the type." Yugoslavia was originally formed out of the wreckage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War One. The king of Serbia was given the throne and he and his successors ruled uneasily until the Nazi invasion of 1941. Resistance against the Germans spawned numerous partisan guerilla groups, of which the most successful was the Communist Serbs led by Tito, who went on to head the country after the war. This one year type was probably not intended to circulate for long. It is worthless in circulated condition. The populace probably regarded them with the same distaste as the profusion of paper currency floating about.
