Comment
Reference: LJubic III, Maric 1956 T XIII 5/6,Comment: Based on Archives of Dubrovnik Uros I was coining money, however the beginning of coining as well as the issue of determining what he was really coiningremain in the sphere of assumptions as his coins are very similar and difficult to distinguish from the coins of his sons Dragutin and Milutin.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Stefan Uroš I ND (1243-1276) from Serbia (medieval) made of Silver weighing 2.1 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts King Stefan Uroš I in a crown and royal robes, while the reverse side features a representation of the Serbian coat of arms, which includes a cross and four C's (representing the four evangelists). This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of medieval Serbia.
