Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Dinar - Alexander I (Pattern) 1892 from Serbia made of Silver (.835) weighing 5 g is that it was designed by the Serbian sculptor and engraver, Ivan Meštrović. Meštrović was a prominent artist in the early 20th century and his work can be found in museums and galleries around the world. The coin features a portrait of King Alexander I on one side and the Serbian coat of arms on the other. It was minted in 1892 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and those interested in Serbian history and art.
