The coin also shows Serbian King Stefan Uros II Milutin, who ruled from 1282 to 1321.
Archaeologists in Bulgaria discovered a coin depicting Jesus Christ as they were excavating a fortress.
After closer inspection, they realized it showed the Serbian King Stefan Uros II Milutin, who ruled from 1282 to 1321. It is a copy of the Venetian matapan, which according to the press release from the Burgas Museum, was the"most stable currency in the Balkans at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th centuries."Burgas MuseumThe press release specifies that these coins generally represented the Doge, leader of the Republic of Venice, and St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice.
As a result, the entirety of Serbia"grew enormously" during his reign,"at the expense of not only Bulgarian, but also Byzantine lands north of Thessaloniki [today in Greece]."
