Comment
Reference: J 119, Jov 42-3, LJ (XIII-6), I (45.2)Rare early type that spells out title "Sir" or "Lord", omitting the more important rank of despot probably because this type was issued 1402-1412 when Đurađ was Master of Kosovo.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Đurađ Branković ND (1402-1456) from Serbia (medieval) made of Silver weighing 0.9 g is that it features an image of Đurađ Branković, a prominent Serbian nobleman and military leader, on one side, and a depiction of the Serbian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Branković's rule as the Despot of Serbia, a title he held from 1402 until his death in 1456. Despite its small weight, this coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economic and political systems of medieval Serbia.
