Here is a rare specimen I received in the mail today. This is silver 5 Line Dinar from the SERBIAN EMPIRE dating from 1346-1355 AD. It was issued under the reign of Tsar: Stefan Uros IV~Dusan.



SERBIAN EMPIRE~5 Line Dinar 1346-1355 AD

I recognize the 'Christ seated' reverse from earlier similar Byzantine pieces, but I wonder what the lettering says on the obverse?

Hi 'FilthyBroke'. The legend basically translates 'STEFAN IN CHRIST OUR LORD PIOUS TSAR'.

Daniel,
  That's a very nice Serbian silver Dinar that you have got there.

Thanks 'Aidan'. This is an earlier imperial issue that was minted under Stefan Dusan right after he was crowned tsar of Serbia in 1346 AD.

Hi 'FilthyBroke'. The legend basically translates 'STEFAN IN CHRIST OUR LORD PIOUS TSAR'.

Thanks, I should have figured that it was something like that.

This just in....





Still working on getting a good flat picture of this one, shooting at an angle is giving it a distorted look.

Looks great to me 'Filthybroke'. You captured the design and toning very nicely. Thank for sharing.

Thanks, Daniel.   I just loved the ship on this one, as if I don't have enough of these with ship themes already!
