<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 741032, member: 21665&quot;]Nobleman: Vuk Branković served as the Master of Kosovo and was the son-in-law of Prince Lazar. He fought in the &#039;Battle of Kosovo&#039; and was one of the few members of the imperial hierarchy to survive the battle. Vuk was and still is considered by many Serb nationals to be a traitor because he appeared to act independently of Lazar, although there is no evidence to support this. Because of the smaller territory that Vuk still controlled, he had neither the power nor sources for independence. Unofficial sources report that Vuk was imprisoned in 1395, and remained so until his death in 1397.</p><p>The first coin posted is a silver Dinar showing Vuk standing holding scepter with Cyrillic legend: &#039;ВЛЬКЬ/ВЛЬКЬ = VUK/VUK&#039; on the obverse side. The reverse shows Christ enthroned with the moneyers name in Cyrillic: &#039;ГАК/ВЬ = JAK(O)V&#039;.</p><p>The second is a silver Dinar with 4 lines in Cyrillic legend: &#039;+ВЛЬКЬ/ОВЬДН/NАРЬ/МГА = &#039;VUK DINAR&#039; with Moneyers initials JAKOV on the obverse side. The reverse shows Christ enthroned holding book of gospels. This coin is unique in that it was on of the few medieval coins with the denomination marked on it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/SerbiaARDinar1371-1396AD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>SERBIA~AR Dinar 1371-1395 AD (Type 1)</i></b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/SerbiaARDinar1371-1396AD-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>SERBIA~AR Dinar 1371-1395 AD (Type 2)</i></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
