Additional information

Stefan Uroš V inherited the Serbian Empire at its territorial peak following his father Dušan's death in 1355, but proved unable to hold it together. Regional lords — the oblastni gospodari — fragmented the empire progressively throughout his reign, reducing him to a figurehead. He died without an heir in 1371, the same year the Ottoman victory at the Maritsa River effectively ended Serbian imperial ambitions. His coinage continued Dušan's monetary conventions largely unchanged, an irony given how little else remained stable.
