| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heraldic shield divided per pale into two distinct quarters. The dexter (left) half displays four horizontal bars or fesses in relief, characteristic of the Hungarian-influenced arms associated with Moldavian dynastic heraldry. The sinister (right) half bears seven fleurs-de-lis arranged in a 4-3 pattern (four in the upper rows, three below), rendered in a stylized Gothic manner typical of 14th-century hammered coinage. The shield is presented in a plain unadorned field with no surrounding legend, occupying the full flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peter II ruled Moldavia during a period of near-constant pressure from both Polish suzerainty to the north and expanding Ottoman influence to the south, and his coinage reflects a principality working hard to project legitimacy on very limited resources. The seven-flower variant with outward-curved horns is a die-specific subtype within MBR#92, distinguished by engravers whose workshop practices were inconsistent enough that no two dies in this series are truly identical.
At 0.24g, these were among the smallest silver coins circulating in the medieval Carpathian-Danubian region — worn to illegibility within a generation in most cases.
