1 Ban - Vladislav I Type Ib

Vladislav I — known as Vlaicu Vodă — consolidated Wallachian political authority in part by establishing an independent coinage, breaking reliance on foreign currency circulating across the Carpathian trade routes. The Type Ib classification within the MBR sequence reflects a die progression, not a policy change; the series evolved incrementally as the Curtea de Argeș mint refined its output during his thirteen-year reign.

At 0.65 g, these were working coins on the lower end of Wallachian denominations, passing through markets trading livestock, salt, and cloth along the Danube corridor.
