1 Ban - Radu I

Radu I ruled Wallachia in the shadow of his more celebrated brother Vladislav I, yet it was Radu who consolidated the principality's monetary infrastructure, issuing copper bans as small-denomination fiduciary coinage to facilitate local trade at a time when silver aspres dominated long-distance exchange. The MBR#78a designation places this among the earliest attributed copper issues of the Wallachian series — a period when the mint's output remains poorly documented and die linkage studies are still incomplete.
