This dime-sized coin was struck at Paris during the brief existence of the kingdom of Serbia (1878-1918). It is by far the most common date of the three listed, 1904, 1912 and 1915. Serbia was conquered and occupied by the Austrians during World War One but reemerged after the war as the kingdom of Yugoslavia. The monarchy was overthrown by Nazi occupation in 1940 and Yugoslavia was reconstituted as a republic under Communist rule in 1945.
