| Reverse description | The Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) depicted passant left with head turned to face right, bearing a nimbus and staff-cross, all within a circular border enclosing the surrounding legend. The inscription, reading in Latin, identifies the coin as struck in the name of Dulcigno and invokes the Lamb of God in a devotional formula typical of medieval Adriatic civic coinage. |

| Additional information |
Dulcigno — modern Ulcinj in Montenegro — operated as a semi-autonomous commune under loose Venetian and later Balkan suzerainty throughout the fourteenth century, producing small fractional bronzes that circulated almost exclusively within the town and its immediate hinterland. The anonymous attribution reflects genuine uncertainty about municipal authority during a period when the city changed hands repeatedly between Serbian despots and coastal Adriatic powers.
Dobrinić's corpus remains the only serious systematic treatment of this material. Specimens are rarely offered outside regional Balkan collections.
