Viščević 5.711; Rešetar 1442; Mimica --

AR dinar (= grosso or groš). Viščević Group III Type 51, struck 1617-1621 (updating Rešetar [Rešetar Type 47]). Type struck with approximate weight of .64 g. (.54 g. to .73 g. range) with a fineness of .800 AR and an approximate size of 17 mm.; .68 g., 17.34 mm. max., 270°

Obv.: S • BLASIVS -- RACVSI • (no cross-bars in letters A), nimbate (smooth aureole) St. Blasé, raising right hand in benediction and holding bishop's crozier (smooth crozier with knotted crook) and city in left hand, R in left field.

Rev.: Nimbate (smooth aureole with smooth rays) bust of Jesus (with long hair), raising right hand in benediction and holding globe in left hand, IE - XP (= Jesus Christ) across field.

The dinar was minted following the edict issued by the Great Council in 1337 and continued until 1621. The weight standard (1 dinar = 30 folari) was based on the Venetian standard, and the depiction of Jesus on the reverse is borrowed from the Venetian golden ducat. The depiction of St. Blase on the obverse is patterned on the portrayal by Ancona of its patron saint on its coins.
