Iliescu 1956 IA type 3a, series I; Dincă#1.10aInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Vladislav I (Type IIa) ND (1364-1377) coin from Wallachia (Moldavia and Wallachia) is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a dragon, which was a symbol of the ancient Dacian culture that once inhabited the region. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the diverse cultural influences that have shaped the history of Wallachia and the surrounding region.
