Comment
Iliescu 1956 IA type 2, 3rd seriesInteresting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from Wallachia, minted during the reign of Vladislav I (Type I) between 1364 and 1377, features an interesting fact. Despite being made of silver and weighing only 1.1 grams, it was still used as a standard circulation coin, indicating that the value of the coin was not determined by its weight or material but by its official recognition and acceptance as a medium of exchange. This highlights the importance of standardization and trust in the currency system, even in the medieval period.
