1 Ducat - Vladislav I Type I

Vladislav I — known as Vlaicu Vodă — issued these ducats following Wallachia's consolidation of control over Severin, establishing one of the earliest indigenous coin series from the region. The type draws on Western European ducat conventions circulating through Transylvanian trade networks, reflecting the commercial reality that Wallachian merchants operated within a mixed monetary economy dominated by Hungarian and Saxon coinage.

MBR#3 designations cover a range of die variations; attribution to Type I specifically depends on details that forgeries have exploited, and suspicious pieces warrant careful comparison against the reference corpus.
