| Additional information |
Vladislav I — known as Vlaicu Vodă — issued these ducats following Wallachia's successful assertion of political independence from Hungarian suzerainty in the 1360s, with the coinage itself functioning as a direct assertion of that autonomy. The designation "Type I" within MBR#4 var. reflects documented die variation across the series; Wallachian minting practice of this period was inconsistent enough that few examples share identical die characteristics.
The silver content is notably low for a coin carrying the ducat name, a denomination borrowed from Western European convention rather than matched to it in metal value.
