| Additional information |
Vladislav I — known as Vlaicu Vodă — struck these ducats following Wallachia's complex navigation between Hungarian suzerainty and the expanding Ottoman frontier. The designation Type IIIb2 in Mitrea's typology reflects deliberate die variation within his reign, not accident; Wallachian minting practice under Vladislav produced a surprisingly differentiated series for a principality of its size and resources. MBR#26 is among the less frequently encountered sub-types in institutional collections.
