| Additional information |
Vladislav I (Vlaicu) established Wallachian coinage in direct response to Hungarian commercial pressure — Angevin merchants demanded local currency for trade crossing the Carpathians, and the ducat denomination was adopted wholesale from Hungarian monetary conventions, though struck in silver rather than gold. The "Type IIa" designation in the MBR sequence reflects subtle die variations within his reign that numismatists have used to construct a loose chronology, though no documentary mint records survive to confirm the sequence.
The MBR#5 var notation signals an unlisted die marriage or minor variety outside the primary reference — not uncommon for this series, where surviving specimens are few enough that new combinations still surface.
