Additional information

Ștefăniță came to the Moldavian throne at roughly fourteen years old following the assassination of Bogdan III, his father, and his decade-long reign was marked by chronic instability — Ottoman pressure from the south, Polish interference from the north, and domestic boyar factions that would eventually engineer his removal. Groșeni of this period circulated in a principality perpetually negotiating its survival between competing powers.

The MBR#762 attribution places this within a documented series, though die variation across Ștefăniță's issues is considerable and attribution of individual pieces remains contested among Romanian numismatists.
