| Additional information |
Lazar Hrebeljanović minted these dinars as a regional lord before ever claiming a princely title — his coinage preceded the formal consolidation of his authority over much of post-Dušan Serbia. The issues span the years leading directly to the Battle of Kosovo in June 1389, where Lazar was captured and executed, ending both his reign and, effectively, independent Serbian silver coinage of this type.
The weight reflects the ongoing debasement trend across late medieval Serbian minting, down sharply from the heavier standards of Stefan Dušan's imperial issues a generation earlier.
