Additional information

Vladislav I — known as Vlaicu Vodă — established Wallachia's first indigenous coinage in the 1360s, breaking from the kingdom's earlier reliance on foreign currency, particularly Hungarian and Serbian issues that had dominated local exchange. The Type IIb classification within MBR reflects a die progression scholars have used to sequence his emissions chronologically, though the precise dates within the 1364–1377 window remain debated. These ducats circulated in a principality that was simultaneously navigating suzerainty pressures from both Hungary and the Ottoman frontier — coins that changed hands under considerable political strain.
