| Reverse description | Christ Pantokrator enthroned in full frontal view, nimbed and wearing imperial Byzantine robes, seated upon an ornate throne flanked by tall vertical elements adorned with rows of pellets or beads. Christ holds the Book of Gospels in his left hand, its cover decorated with four prominent gem settings, while his right hand is raised in a gesture of benediction. The Christogram IC XC appears in the fields to either side of the nimbus. A beaded border frames the composition, consistent with the Byzantine-influenced artistic style prevalent in medieval Serbian coinage. |

| Additional information |
Vukašin Mrnjavčević ruled as co-king alongside the nominally supreme Stefan Uroš V, the last of the Nemanjić line, after the Serbian empire fractured following the death of Stefan Dušan in 1355. His coinage belongs to a period of rapid decentralization, when Serbian regional lords struck their own issues with little coordination — each asserting dynastic legitimacy through the act of minting itself. Vukašin died at the Battle of Maritsa in September 1371, where a Ottoman force destroyed the Serbian army, effectively ending Serbian control over Macedonia.
