| Additional information |
Tomaš Ostojić, who ruled as king of Bosnia from 1443 until his murder in 1461, occupied a throne under relentless pressure from the Ottoman advance into the Balkans. His reign ended when his own son, Stjepan Tomašević, had him strangled — just two years before the Ottomans extinguished the kingdom entirely in 1463. Coinage attributed to his reign is scarce, and the Rengjeo corpus remains the primary reference for Bosnian medieval issues, reflecting how little systematic study has been applied to this series outside regional scholarship.
