| Additional information |
Alexandru cel Bun's reign over Moldavia lasted over three decades, making it one of the longest and most stable of any Moldavian ruler — yet the monetary record from his chancellery is fragmentary at best. The R4 rarity rating on Kop#3710 reflects genuine scarcity, not collector fashion; Moldavian silver of this period suffered badly from centuries of agricultural land use across the region, and metal-detector finds have done little to change the population estimate.
Alexandru navigated tribute relationships with both Poland and the Ottoman sphere simultaneously, and his coinage reflects a principality asserting its own administrative identity under real external pressure.
