| Reverse description | Enthroned frontal figure of Christ Pantocrator, seated on a high-backed throne and depicted in the Byzantine tradition. Christ holds the Book of Gospels in his left hand, the cover adorned with five pellets or gems arranged in a cruciform pattern. The right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing. The Greek Christogram 'IC XC' (Iesous Christos) appears in the field to either side of the nimbed head, a standard iconographic convention on Serbian medieval ecclesiastical coinage. The overall composition reflects strong Byzantine artistic influence prevalent in the Serbian Nemanjić-era monetary tradition. |

| Additional information |
Stefan Vladislav II ruled as a minor king in the fractured Serbian lands during the early fourteenth century, a period when the Nemanjić dynasty's grip was tightening and lesser rulers were being systematically absorbed or displaced. His coinage was produced in direct imitation of the Venetian grosso, a deliberate choice reflecting the commercial dominance of Adriatic trade networks that Serbian silver mines — particularly those at Brskovo — were feeding directly.
Brskovo's output during this decade was substantial enough to attract Ragusan merchants under formal treaty arrangements with Serbian rulers.
