During the medieval period, Serbian silver coins were of significant importance. The first Serbian silver coins were minted in the 13th century under the rule of King Stefan Uro I. These coins, known as "dinars," were influenced by Venetian currency and were used extensively in trade.
After the Ottoman conquest in the 15th century, Serbian coinage was largely influenced by the Ottoman monetary system. Silver coins called "akçe" were common during this period. Despite the political changes, these coins continued to be a medium of exchange within the region.
In the 19th century, as Serbia gained autonomy from the Ottoman Empire, the Principality of Serbia began issuing its own currency. Silver coins were minted and circulated widely. Prince Milo Obrenovi?, a prominent figure in Serbian history, played a key role in the establishment of a national currency.
With the proclamation of the Kingdom of Serbia in 1882, the country saw the introduction of new silver coins. These coins featured the portraits of Serbian kings and national symbols. The dinar continued to be the official currency, and silver coins were an essential part of the monetary system.
Throughout the 20th century, Serbia experienced significant political and economic changes, including the formation of Yugoslavia and later its dissolution. During these periods, various forms of currency were used, including silver coins. In contemporary Serbia, while silver coins are not used in everyday transactions, they remain a popular choice for collectors and investors.
