When I looked at Yugoslavia as Y for the #AtoZChallenge, the first coin I liked was the 1955 50 dinara. I love how that series of coins work together. I wrote up the earlier 1931 10 dinara first, to break up the history of the country a bit, so today here is that 1955 #coin: https://coinofnote.com/1955-yugoslavia-50-dinara/

And if you missed it earlier in the week, the earlier post on the 1931 10 Dinara: https://coinofnote.com/1931-yugoslavia-10-dinara/

Ok reflecting back on the #AtoZChallenge. I loved it! It was a good challenge both choosing countries / coins & getting it all written. My first thought was to make the posts shorter.... but they didn't end up any shorter, which I take as my own inability to compromise on information - & how fascinating everything is! One I learnt a lot writing was the Roman Denarius Fouree: https://coinofnote.com/19-b-c-rome-augustus-denarius-fouree/
