| Additional information |
Alexander the Good's reign over Moldavia was unusually stable by the standards of the region — over three decades without the dynastic bloodshed that plagued neighboring Wallachia. The fractional groschen issues of his reign served cross-border trade with Poland and the Hanseatic merchants pushing into the Black Sea corridor, with Moldavian coinage circulating well beyond the principality's borders during this period.
At 0.27g, these pieces were struck on extremely thin flans, and surviving examples with full, uncracked planchets are genuinely scarce.
