| Additional information |
Stefan Radoslav ruled Serbia for roughly five years before being deposed by his own brother Vladislav, a dynastic struggle that left his coinage among the shortest-lived and least-documented of the Nemanjić series. His reign coincided with strong Byzantine cultural influence — Radoslav was married to a daughter of the Despot of Epirus and styled himself in Greek on official documents, an unusual posture for a Serbian ruler that almost certainly shaped the iconographic choices on his issues.
Jovanović's classification of this type remains the primary reference point, as medieval Serbian copper has attracted far less systematic scholarly attention than the silver issues.
