Description
This
silver
ducat
was
minted
during
the
reign
of
Mircea
the
Old
of
Wallachia
,
1386-1418
AD
. The
obverse
of this
coin
shows
a
man
standing
with a
spear
and
globus
cruciger
, and the
reverse
shows
an
eagle
atop
a
helm
and
shield
.
Mircea
the
Old
was the
grandfather
of
Vlad
III
Tepes
(Vlad
the
Impaler)
,
commonly
known
as
Dracula
.
It
is
believed
that
coins
minted
during
Mircea's
reign
were
still
in
circulation
and
used
during
the
rule
of
Vlad
III
, as
Vlad
minted
little
, if any,
coins
during
his
reign
.
During
Mircea
the
Old's
rule
, he
fought
invasion
from the
Turks
,
who
were
sweeping
across
Europe
at this
time
.
Though
he was
fairly
successful
in
holding
them
off
, he
did
end
by
paying
tribute
to the
Turks
in
order
to
keep
Wallachia
(part
of
modern
day
Romania)
independent
and
self-ruled
.
