| Reverse description | The reverse bears a standing frontal figure, identified as the voivode Vladislav I, depicted in long robes with a cross-decorated garment, holding a sceptre or staff. The figure's flowing hair is rendered with bold strokes in the hammered style. To the right of the figure, a small rectangular device or tamga symbol is visible in the field. The Cyrillic legend runs around the periphery within a dotted border, naming the issuing ruler. The composition follows the typology of contemporary Balkan and Central European ducats adapted to Wallachian iconographic traditions. |

| Additional information |
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.
