| Beschrijving voorzijde | A plain cross divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a Cyrillic letter forming the word ДЕСПОТ (Despot). The letters are arranged one per quadrant in a bold, medieval script characteristic of Serbian hammered coinage of the early 15th century. The cross arms terminate near a beaded border. The overall design is stark and heraldic, with the inscription serving as the primary decorative element. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Stefan Lazarević received the title of despot from Byzantine Emperor Manuel II in 1402, the year after the catastrophic Ottoman defeat of his father Lazar at Kosovo. That political realignment — pivoting between Ottoman vassalage and Hungarian alliance simultaneously — is precisely why his coinage exists at a distinct break from earlier Serbian royal issues. He was the first Serbian ruler to use the despot title on his coins rather than king.
The lightweight fabric reflects decades of Balkan silver debasement under wartime fiscal pressure, not a local minting shortfall.
