1- and 2-dinar silver coins from 1897
Abstract
The silver coins from 1897, bearing the image of King Aleksandar Obrenović, were minted in 4 million pieces (1-dinar denomination), and in 2 million pieces (2-dinar denomination). Both types of coins were minted in the Imperial Mint in Vienna, in 835% silver. The 1-dinar coin weighed 5 grams and was 23mm in diameter, whereas the 2-dinar coin weighed 10 grams and was 27mm in diameter. They were legal tender until 1931, although gradually withdrawn from circulation over the years.
