Ae Medallion, Uni Faced with bust of King Peter II, by Soruni Varazoin, 57.5mm diameter. VF+ cleaned.
Peter II (Serbo-Croatian: Petar/Петар; 6 September 1923 – 3 November 1970) was the last King of Yugoslavia, and the last reigning member of the Karađorđević dynasty which came to prominence in the early 19th century.
Peter II was the eldest son of Alexander I and Maria of Romania; his godparents were the British king and queen mother, George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother
Prince Peter was initially tutored at the Royal Palace, Belgrade, before attending Sandroyd School in Wiltshire, England. When he was 11 years old, Prince Peter succeeded to the Yugoslav throne in 1934 upon the assassination of his father King Alexander I in Marseille during a state visit to France. In view of the new monarch's young age, a regency was set up under his father's cousin Prince Paul.
