Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Dinar coin was designed by the Serbian sculptor and engraver, Djordje Jovanovic, and it features a portrait of King Aleksandar I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Serbian coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1890 as a pattern coin, which means that it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. It's interesting to note that the use of aluminum bronze in the production of coins was a relatively new and innovative practice at the time, as most coins were traditionally made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper. The use of aluminum bronze in the Pattern 1 Dinar coin reflects the growing popularity of this material in coinage during the late 19th century, as it was seen as a more durable and cost-effective alternative to traditional metals.
