| Additional information |
Stefan Uroš V inherited the throne of a Serbian empire already fracturing under him — the magnates who had served his father Dušan the Mighty progressively stripped away central authority until Uroš held little more than a title. He died in 1371 without an heir, ending the Nemanjić dynasty entirely, just weeks after the catastrophic Ottoman victory at the Maritsa River wiped out much of the Serbian nobility that had effectively been ruling in his name.
The helmet type is among the more precisely studied die groupings of the medieval Serbian series, useful to specialists attempting to sequence issues across what was a reign defined more by political collapse than by any functioning central mint policy.
