Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Dinars coin was designed by the Algerian artist, Mustapha Orifi, and it features a unique blend of traditional Islamic motifs and modernist elements. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized representation of the Algerian revolution, with a raised fist holding a rifle, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, while the reverse side features a geometric pattern inspired by Islamic art.
