Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Para - Petar I 1920 coin from Yugoslavia is that it was designed by the famous Serbian sculptor and artist, Ivan Meštrović. Meštrović was known for his work in various artistic mediums, including sculpture, painting, and architecture, and his designs for the Yugoslavian currency during the early 20th century are considered some of his most notable works. The coin's design features a portrait of King Peter I of Yugoslavia, who ruled the country from 1918 until his assassination in 1921. The coin's obverse side also includes the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which was a composite of the coats of arms of the six provinces that made up the kingdom. The 5 Para coin was a widely used denomination during its time in circulation and is now considered a collector's item, with some mintage variations and conditions commanding high prices among numismatists.
