Ornamented helmet, Latin legend

Lettering: VROSIVS - IPRAOI

Translation: Uros Emperor

Comment

Reference: Jov 12-1.1 var.

Comment: Rare type that apparently combines the designs and legends from the previous reign of his father Dusan. Both Uros V and his father Dusan bore the royal names Stefan and Uros. The reverse legend 'IPR ROI' hints at the Latin "Emperor of the Romans" used on some early Dusan coins.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Stefan Uroš V ND (1355-1371) from Serbia (medieval) made of Silver weighing 1.3 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 V, while the reverse side features a representation of the Serbian coat of arms, which includes a cross and a crescent moon, symbolizing the country's history of religious diversity. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of medieval Serbia and highlights the importance of religious tolerance and coexistence during that time.
