| Additional information |
Stefan Dragutin ruled Serbia under unusual circumstances — he abdicated the throne in 1282 after a riding accident left him partially incapacitated, ceding power to his brother Stefan Milutin while retaining control over northern territories under Hungarian suzerainty. This dinar type, distinguished by the sword motif, belongs to that prolonged joint-rule period when Dragutin governed the Srem and Mačva regions as a Hungarian vassal king, a political arrangement that gave him authority to strike his own coinage independently of Milutin's mint output.
