| Obverse description | Christ enthroned in majesty, depicted facing in Byzantine hieratic style, wearing imperial robes with detailed dotted ornamentation; the figure holds a book of the Gospels decorated with five gems against the chest. The Greek Christogram IC XC appears in the fields to either side of the nimbed head. The throne is flanked by dotted columns, and the overall style reflects strong Byzantine iconographic influence. |

| Additional information |
Stefan Dragutin ruled as king of Rascia from 1276 until he was effectively deposed by his own brother Milutin at the 1282 assembly at Deževo, after which he governed the northeastern region of Srem as a vassal — first under the Hungarian crown, whose princess he had married, and then in an increasingly complicated dual-loyalty arrangement that lasted until his death in 1316. The lily and globes type spans both phases of his authority, making precise attribution to either the Rascia or Srem period genuinely difficult without die study.
