| Additional information |
Stefan Dragutin ruled Serbia from 1276 until his forced abdication in 1282, when his brother Milutin seized power after Dragutin suffered a serious leg injury at a tournament — an event Serbian sources treated as divine judgment. Dragutin did not disappear from the political scene, however; he continued ruling a northeastern appanage centered on Mačva and Srem under Hungarian suzerainty until his death in 1316, which explains the unusually wide dating range on this issue. Coins attributable to the post-abdication phase of his reign are particularly difficult to assign with precision, as his reduced territory maintained its own minting activity independent of the Serbian royal court at Ras.
