Comment

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia had coins with a crown over the Heraldic eagle. The removal of the crown signified that King Peter II Karađorđević (1934-1945) became a puppet king under Nazi Germany during its occupation between 1941-1945.

Interesting fact

The 1 Dinar 1942 coin was issued during the Nazi occupation of Yugoslavia, specifically in the territory of Serbia, which was under the control of the German military administration. The coin was minted in 1942, and it features the year "1942" on the obverse side, along with the coat of arms of Serbia and the denomination "1 Dinar." The reverse side of the coin features a stylized image of a farmer and a factory worker, symbolizing the country's agricultural and industrial production. Despite being made of zinc, which is a relatively inexpensive metal, the 1 Dinar 1942 coin from Serbia is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today. This is due to the historical significance of the coin, as well as its limited mintage and surviving population.
