Stefan Dušan's coronation as Emperor of the Serbs and Greeks in April 1346 — a deliberate claim to Byzantine imperial authority — triggered a reorganization of the Serbian mint output. The dinar issues of this period reflect the expanded pretensions of his court at Skopje, where Dušan promulgated his famous law code, the Zakonik, in 1349. His death in December 1355, likely from sudden illness while marching on Constantinople, ended what had been the largest Serbian territorial expansion in the medieval Balkans and left his monetary reforms without a successor capable of sustaining them.
