Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Đurađ Branković ND (1427-1456) from Serbia (medieval) made of Silver weighing 0.89 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 1427 until his death in 1456.
