Comments
Unique and only variant of the referenced type here. Jovanovic states in his book that there are only 20 registered examples of this type but they are all with the maker signs at the end of some of the lines of the letters. For example, on the majority of them at the end of 3 lines of letters, mainly 1st, 3rd and 5th line, there is a sign of a small flower. This one is the only known example without such maker signs. There are only 2 short lines above "a" letters, 2nd row and a dot at the end of 3rd row.
this is also one of the most beautiful types of Serbian medieval coins.

Like the one below #DUS20, this is also one of the most beautiful types of Serbian medieval coins. Uncleaned condition and lovely patina.

Beautifully toned. Some doubling on the reverse, otherwise, extremely fine. There are only 15 registered examples and on each one there are 2 dots between the 1st and the 2nd line and a single dot between the 2nd and the 3rd line forming a imaginary triangle.
