Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar - Radu I (Type I) ND (1377-1383) coin from Wallachia is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian imagery, reflecting the cultural influences of the region during that time period. The coin's design includes a depiction of a crescent moon, which is a common motif in Islamic art, alongside an image of the Virgin Mary, which is a symbol of Christianity. This blending of religious symbols is a rare example of the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Middle Ages.
