Stefan Dušan proclaimed himself Emperor of the Serbs and Greeks in 1346, the same year this coinage type begins — a deliberate assertion of Byzantine-level authority that required new imperial imagery to match. His wife Helen of Bulgaria appeared alongside him on the coinage as co-ruler, a practice borrowed directly from Byzantine numismatic convention to reinforce the legitimacy of his expanded title.
Dušan's empire collapsed within a decade of his death in 1355, fragmenting into rival principalities almost immediately. These dinars circulated at the peak of medieval Serbian territorial extent.
