This coin, a 10 dinars piece issued in 1943 during World War II, reflects a tumultuous period in Serbian history marked by German occupation. Following the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, Serbia was subjected to military control under Nazi Germany, leading to significant political upheaval and social unrest.

The coin itself was minted in Budapest, Hungary, which was part of the Axis powers during the war. The design typically features the denomination and possibly imagery that reflects the era's themes, such as national symbols or motifs relevant to Serbian identity. However, due to the circumstances of the occupation, many coins from this period bear the marks of propaganda and the economic challenges of wartime.

During the German occupation, the economy of Serbia faced severe hardships, and the issuance of currency was closely tied to the occupying forces' needs and policies. The 10 dinars coin was part of efforts to stabilize the local economy amidst rampant inflation and scarcity of resources. As a result, the coin serves as a historical artifact that encapsulates the struggle of the Serbian people during this dark chapter in their history.

Graded by NGC as "Genuine," this coin holds significance not only as a piece of currency but also as a reminder of the broader socio-political landscape of occupied Serbia during World War II. Collectors and historians value such coins for their insights into the impact of war on everyday life, the economy, and national identity in the face of foreign domination.
