[url]https://www.foxnews.com/science/draculas-cannonballs-from-battle-found[/url] [B]I was more interested in the coins pictured (not mentioned in article). [/B] Curious if they were issued by Vlad (I understand none were ever confirmed minted by Vlad III), his Grandfather, or just random found coins with the cannon balls.
