Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Vladislav I (Type IIIb2) ND (1364-1377) coin from Wallachia (Moldavia and Wallachia) is that it features an image of a dragon on one side, which was a symbol of the Wallachian prince Vladislav I. The dragon was believed to represent strength, power, and protection, and its presence on the coin was meant to signify the prince's role as a strong and powerful leader.
