Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Para (Pattern) 1917 from Serbia made of Gold (.900) weighing 4.42 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. He is known for his unique style that combines traditional Serbian motifs with modernist influences. The coin's design features a portrait of King Peter I of Yugoslavia on one side and a depiction of the Serbian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1917, during World War I, and was intended to be used as currency in Serbia. However, due to the war, the coin was never widely circulated and today it is a rare and valuable collector's item.
