Romania, Moldavia (Principality). Anonymous BI 1/2 Groat. Time of the sons of Alexandru cel Bun, 1435-1437. Facing bull's head; star above, rosette and crescent flanking / Cross; two crowns, star and crescent in quadrants. MBR p. 64, 465; L. Dergaciova, 'Monedele moldovenești de tip "cruce cu brațe egale" prin prisma datelor sfragistice și epigrafice' in Revista de Cercetări Arheologice și Numismatice 2 (2016), 1st type (see this article for date and attribution). 0.85g, 14mm.

Very Fine. Very Rare.

L. Dergaciova identifies three types this issue, arguing that the second type had the personal emblem of Pan Stanciul who was a man of authority who held manner important state positions from 1432-1479 and thus redating the issue.
