| Additional information |
Vladislav I — known as Vlaicu Vodă — issued these ducats following Wallachia's formal recognition of Hungarian suzerainty under Louis I, a political arrangement that directly shaped the coin's type. The designation "Type I" distinguishes it from later variants within his reign, and MBR#1 places it as the foundational entry in Romanian medieval numismatics bibliography. Wallachian silver coinage of this period drew heavily on contemporary Hungarian and Serbian monetary conventions, reflecting the principality's position between competing regional powers.
