What was happening
The money of Tito's Yugoslavia at its mid-century height. This 10 dinara note, dated 1 May 1968 — May Day — carries one of the most reproduced faces in Yugoslav life: the Zenica steelworker Arif Heralić (1922–1971), lifted from a famous 1954 photograph and used on the dinar for years as the emblem of socialist self-management and heavy industry. He wears the goggles pushed up on his cap, the blast furnace behind him.
The reverse is purely ornamental, large value numerals in a guilloche, printed at the Zavod za izradu novčanica in Belgrade. See also the 1978 reissue ([[yugoslavia-10-dinara-1978]]).
