Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Para 1883-1917 from Serbia made of Copper-nickel (75% Copper, 25% Nickel) weighing 3 g is that it was designed by the Austrian artist and engraver, Anton Scharff. Scharff was known for his work on various coins and banknotes, and his design for the 5 Para coin features a portrait of Prince Mihailo Obrenovic, who was the ruler of Serbia at the time. The coin was minted in Vienna, Austria, and was used in circulation in Serbia until 1917, when it was replaced by the Yugoslav dinar.
