1 Ducat - Radu III cel Frumos mirrored arms

Radu III — younger brother of Vlad III and installed as voivode by Ottoman backing after Vlad's 1462 campaign collapsed — ruled Wallachia through a period of near-constant political turbulence, alternating on the throne multiple times with Vlad himself. The "mirrored arms" variety of this issue reflects die-cutter inconsistency rather than intentional heraldic reversal, a known occurrence in Wallachian coinage of this period where workshop standards were loose and dies were sometimes engraved by hand without a reference template.
