I would be a little surprised if an official set was issued with printing that was not the same alphabet as the one used on the coins, but I am wrong about 50% of the time when I guess like this

"Dinara", in Latin, is in fact exactly what was written on the coins, and the full name of the country does not appear on them in any alphabet. IIRC, Yugoslavia used both alphabets officially at the time, so neither choice would be unusual.

The really weird part is the big "Yugoslavia" in English (!) at the top.

This is what I meant ... the country name.

So I am trying to find out if there was an official issue format by the government. If not who made this up?

Krause lists this later mint set as MS1. https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...8d7904e1dd9d

So, my guess is that there was no 1945 mint set, although the National Bank of Yugoslavia did exist in 1945. Most official mint sets I am familiar with have some kind of national symbols (though admittedly my experience is limited). I have never seen one as plain as yours.

Interesting to note that the later official mint set in the link shows the "Anglo" spelling of the country's name on one side. But the formal name of the country is different than what is shown on your set. Another reason to be skeptical that it is an official set, unless the name changed between 1945 and 1953. (Edit: The official name of the country was Federal Peoples' Republic of Yugoslavia from 1946-1963, at which point it was renamed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. So this part is accurate on your set, even though this name did not yet exist at the time of the date of these coins )

Anyone could have made yours up.

I guess anyone, but someone would have to invest a little to make these printed cardboard cut outs to sell some low value coins. I would assume this was a coin company like Littletoncoin CO planning to sell volume?
