Comment

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia had coins with a crown over the Heraldic eagle. The removal of the crown signified that King Peter II Karađorđević (1934-1945) became a puppet king under Nazi Germany during its occupation between 1941-1945.

Interesting fact

The 50 Para coin from Serbia, minted in 1942, was made of zinc and weighed 2.06 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
