Interesting fact
The Pattern 25 Para - Petar II (Pattern) 1938 coin was designed by the Serbian sculptor and engraver, Ivan Meštrović. Meštrović was a prominent artist in Yugoslavia during the early 20th century, and his work can be found in museums and galleries around the world. The coin features a portrait of King Peter II of Yugoslavia on one side and a depiction of the Serbian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1938, just a year before the outbreak of World War II, and it was intended to be used as currency in Yugoslavia. However, due to the political upheaval and the subsequent occupation of Yugoslavia by the Axis powers, the coin was never widely circulated and remains a rare and valuable collector's item today.
