Of these, 14 are issues of the Golden Horde (Qrim, Saqci, Saray mints), some belonging to khans with a great local significance, such as Noghay. The other 2 coins were issued by Andronic II (Byzantine ruler, 1282-1328) and Johannes Orsini (ruler of Epirus, 1323-1335). At the time of the publication, there was a very limited Golden Horde numismatic material published in Romania with known find spots.

This paper deals with the numismatic aspects of his reigns, a topic little known outside the circle of the specialized Romanian scholars and coin collectors, and describes a previously unknown silver coin (common Wallachian type ''ducat'') which on reasonable grounds can be attributed to Vlad the Impaler.
