Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Dinar - Aleksandar I (Pattern) 1925 from Yugoslavia made of Copper-nickel is a rare and unique coin, with only 10,000 pieces minted. It was designed by the Serbian sculptor and engraver, Ivan Meštrović, and features a portrait of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia on one side and the coat of arms of Yugoslavia on the other. The coin was never put into circulation and was only used as a pattern for a potential new currency, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
