| Obverse description | Five-line inscription in medieval Serbian Cyrillic script occupying the entire coin field, reading the royal titulature of King Vukašin Mrnjavčević. The legend is arranged horizontally across the flan in a characteristic hammered style, with letterforms typical of late 14th-century Serbian epigraphy. The irregular flan edges, a hallmark of hand-struck medieval coinage, are clearly visible around the inscription. No figurative imagery is present on this side; the field is devoted entirely to the royal legend. |

| Additional information |
Vukašin ruled as co-king alongside the nominal emperor Stefan Uroš V, effectively controlling the western territories of a fragmented Serbian empire following the death of Stefan Dušan in 1355. His coinage asserts royal authority during a period when the empire was dissolving into competing regional lords. He died at the Battle of Maritsa in 1371, where a combined Serbian force was routed by Ottoman troops — a defeat that accelerated Balkan collapse and left his son Marko ruling as an Ottoman vassal.
