Dinar - Stefan Uroš IV Dušan

Stefan Dušan's reign marked the peak of medieval Serbian power — he conquered much of Byzantine Macedonia, Epirus, and Thessaly before crowning himself Emperor of the Serbs and Greeks in 1346. This coin was struck across that entire arc of expansion, and the minting apparatus he inherited from his father Stefan Dečanski was substantially enlarged to finance near-continuous military campaigning.

Jovanovic 11-1 places this among the earlier dinar types in his reign, predating the imperial coronation and the accompanying shift in titulature on later issues.
