Interesting fact
The 1 Ban coin from Wallachia, minted during the reign of Radu I (Type II) between 1377 and 1383, features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on coins from this region. This cross is believed to symbolize the Christian faith of the ruling prince and may have been added to the coinage to promote religious unity within the principality.
