  • Support – Historical EV, great detail. (Question: If that's an "allegory of progress" on the obverse, do we know what the pile of rocks & mtn. landscape on the reverse depicts?) Sca (talk) 13:33, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Should be "dinars". In Serbian they say "10 dinara". Singular dinar, plural dinars rigth ? Good and historic. --PetarM (talk) 14:33, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
PetarM- I understand your point, but the numismatic reference books cite the plural of dinar as dinara (not to mention it is printed as dinara on both this note and on the note above).--Godot13 (talk) 23:54, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
