Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - King Stefan III Dusan ND (1331-1346) from Serbia (medieval) made of Silver weighing 1.63 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts King Stefan III Dusan in a crown and royal robes, while the reverse side features a representation of the Serbian coat of arms, which includes a cross and four C's (representing the four evangelists). This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex history and cultural influences of medieval Serbia.
