Coin and countermark very fine.
It is believed that this countermark was applied to mainly Serbian coins towards the end of Dusan's rule in the Black Sea regions as no coins of his successor Uros V (1355-1371) have been recorded with these countermarks. The coins selected for countermarking are usually clipped, damaged or worn.
