| Additional information |
No ducat struck in silver at 3.35 g exists in the verified numismatic record for Vlad III. The KM# 1 attribution is a catalog placeholder, and the "ducat" denomination is a misnomer — Wallachian rulers of this period issued ducats in gold or, more commonly, silver dinars and bani modeled loosely on Hungarian and Bulgarian types. Vlad's coinage is genuinely scarce and poorly documented, but that obscurity has historically attracted fabrications and misattributions rather than clarifying the record.
