| Additional information |
Lazar Hrebeljanović minted this dinar during the fragmented period following the Ottoman defeat of the Serbian Empire at the Maritsa River in 1371, when he was consolidating authority over a patchwork of competing Serbian lords rather than ruling as a recognized king. He held the title of prince — knez — never crowned king, yet his mint output rivals that of earlier Serbian monarchs in volume. His reign ended at Kosovo Polje in June 1389, where he was captured and executed after the battle, later canonized by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
