| Additional information |
Vladislav I — known as Vlaicu Vodă — issued these ducats as Wallachia sought to assert itself commercially between competing Hungarian and Bulgarian economic spheres. The "ducat" designation here is something of a misnomer inherited from Hungarian numismatic influence; these are functionally local silver issues whose name reflects the currency language of the region's dominant trading partners rather than any formal monetary alliance with Venice or Hungary.
The Type IIb classification within MBR indicates a die variant distinguished within Vladislav's broader silver output — a reign during which Wallachia's mint activity was closely tied to silver extracted from Transylvanian trade routes.
