Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Aleksandar I (Pattern) 1931 from Yugoslavia 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 of Yugoslavia on one side and a depiction of the Serbian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1931 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. It is made of gold (.986) and weighs 3.5 grams.
