STEFANV - RVX - STEFV Stefan II standing facing on the left, holding akakia in his left hand and St. Stefan, nimbate, standing facing on the right, holding book of Gospels in his left hand; both holding, between them with their right hands, long banner.

It has been suggested that this issue was struck after the abdication of Stefan II Dragutin as King of Serbia due to an injury in 1282, perhaps in circa 1300-1310, when he ruled Syrmia and was in frequent conflict with his younger brother and successor, King Stefan Uroš II.
