Stefan Vladislav II ruled as a minor king in the fractured Serbian lands during the early fourteenth century, a period when the Nemanjić dynasty's grip was tightening and lesser rulers were being systematically absorbed or displaced. His coinage was produced in direct imitation of the Venetian grosso, a deliberate choice reflecting the commercial dominance of Adriatic trade networks that Serbian silver mines — particularly those at Brskovo — were feeding directly.
Brskovo's output during this decade was substantial enough to attract Ragusan merchants under formal treaty arrangements with Serbian rulers.
