Comment
Intermediate type between Types II and III. Similar to Type II, but no dots around Vladimir's head and the throne does not have a back as does type III.Interesting fact
The Srebrennik coin was used as a means of payment and was widely used in trade during the reign of Vladimir the Great, who is depicted on the coin. It was also used as a symbol of power and influence, and the fact that it was made of Billon, a silver-like alloy, indicates that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time.
