| Additional information |
Stefan Uroš II Milutin ruled Serbia for nearly four decades, an unusually long and stable reign by medieval Balkan standards, financed in large part by the silver mines of Brskovo and later Novo Brdo. His coinage was modeled closely on Venetian grossi and Byzantine trachea, a deliberate signal of parity with regional powers. The Serbian dinar became sufficiently trusted during his reign that it circulated well beyond his borders, appearing in hoards as far as the Adriatic coast.
