| Additional information |
Pattern issues from the National Bank of Macedonia are rarely documented in depth, and this piece sits in that murky territory between monetary proposal and collector artifact. Goce Delčev — the revolutionary for whom this denomination was named — was killed by Ottoman forces in May 1903, exactly a century before this coin was struck. The centenary of his death almost certainly drove the timing of this pattern's production.
KM#Pn2 suggests very limited official documentation; most Macedonian patterns from this period never advanced to circulation strikes.
