| Additional information |
Lazar Hrebeljanović died at Kosovo Polje on June 28, 1389 — the same battle in which Sultan Murad I was also killed — and was canonized by the Serbian Orthodox Church almost immediately afterward. These posthumous dinars, struck in his name during the regency period before his son Stefan Lazarević consolidated authority, reflect a deliberate political act: maintaining the legitimacy of the Hrebeljanović line at a moment when Ottoman suzerainty had already technically begun.
The four-year window of issue is narrow, and surviving specimens at this weight are frequently found with uneven flans — a known characteristic of the series rather than post-mint damage.
