Iliescu 1956 IA type 3a, series I; Dincă#1.10bInteresting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from Wallachia (Moldavia and Wallachia) minted during the reign of Vladislav I (Type IIa) between 1364-1377 is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the Genoese merchants who traded with the Wallachian principality during that time. This highlights the coin's importance in facilitating economic exchange and demonstrates the close ties between Wallachia and other European powers during the medieval period.
