1 Ducat - Radu III cel Frumos

The attribution of ducats to Radu III — known as "the Handsome," younger brother of Vlad III and a client ruler sustained by Ottoman backing — remains contested among Romanian numismatists. His reign was interrupted repeatedly as Vlad reclaimed the throne by force, and any coinage produced during these years reflects an administration that was never fully stable. MBR#264 is among the lightest silver issues associated with Wallachian voivodes of this period, suggesting either deliberate debasement or the economic strain of continuous political disruption throughout the 1460s and 1470s.
