25 Para - Peter I

Yugoslavia's first coinage as a unified state posed an immediate practical problem: the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes had no functioning mint of its own. These pieces were struck at the Poissy mint in France, identifiable by the small torch privy mark. The political urgency behind the issue was real — the Paris Peace Conference was still reshaping the region's borders, and a circulating coinage was one of the bluntest instruments of national legitimacy available to the new government.

Poissy struck enormous quantities, and worn survivors are the rule rather than the exception.
