| Additional information |
Radu I ruled Wallachia in the shadow of his more celebrated brother Vladislav I, yet his coinage represents a distinct phase of Wallachian monetary development during a period when the principality was navigating pressure from both the Hungarian crown and the expanding Ottoman frontier. The Type Ib classification within MBR distinguishes this issue from the earlier Type Ia by subtle die characteristics that specialists continue to debate.
Survival rates are extremely low. These pieces circulated in a small, agrarian economy with limited coin-using infrastructure, and attrition was high.
