The front of the banknote features a portrait of Josip Broz Tito, Yugoslavia's president from 1953 to 1980, depicted in military uniform facing the viewer. The denomination "1000 DINARA" appears in the upper right corner, while the year "1981" is printed in the lower left.
The back displays a map of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, bordered by the Adriatic Sea to the west and the Aegean Sea to the east. The denomination "1000 DINARA" is in the upper left, and the country's full name in Serbo-Croatian, "SOCIALISTICKA FEDERATIVNA REPUBLIKA JUGOSLAVIJA," appears in the lower right.
The note bears the signature of Dragoslav Avramović, governor of the National Bank of Yugoslavia, printed in the lower right corner.
Today, this banknote is primarily a collector's item. Its market value is approximately $0.02 USD, reflecting its demonetized status and the hyperinflation that later plagued the Yugoslav dinar.
