36 | OTKUP SREDNJOVEKOVNOG NOVCAZANARODNIMUZEJ Numizmatičko odeljenje Narodnog muzeja u Beogradu bogatije je za izuzetnu kolekciju srpskog srednjovekovnog novca. Kolekcionarskom strašću vođen, donedavni vlasnik je pažljivo i znalački tokom pet decenija skupljao srednjovekovni srebrni novac sa jasnom željom da celina od 251 primerka svoje trajno utočište nađe u centralnom i najstarijem muzeju Srbije – Narodnom muzeju. Komisija stručnjaka iz nekoliko eminentnih ustanova je nakon detaljnog pregleda kovanica i hemijskih analiza legure bila uverena da je reč o dragocenoj celini. Ne želeći da se ovakva mogućnost otkupa propusti, Narodni muzej je preko Ministarstva kulture i informisanja dobio bezrezervnu podršku i vanrednu finansijsku pomoć. Muzejski savetnik dr Vesna Radić, kustoskinja zbirke vizantijskog, srpskog i evropskog srednjovekovnog novca u Narodnommuzeju, uz neskrivenu radost kaže da do sada nismo bili u prilici da imamo otkup sa neprekinutim nizom koji prati kovanje srpskih vladara od sredine 13. do sredine 15. veka i pruža uvid u razvoj novčanog sistema srednjovekovne Srbije. Posetioci Narodnog muzeja će od sredine januara moći da vide ovu jedinstvenu numizmatičku celinu izloženu u atrijumu Narodnog muzeja. Počev od najranijih izdanja srpskih kraljeva i careva, poput traheja kralja Radoslava sa Bogorodicom (1228–1234), preko Dušanove monete sa carskom titulom, sve do emisije srpskih despota Stefana Lazarevića (1389–1427) i Lazara Brankovića (1456–1458), prvi put će biti izloženi unikatni primerci dinara – sa likom kralja Marka na konju, odnosno Đurđa Balšića sa šlemom i vučjom glavom. REPURCHASE OFMEDIEVAL COINS FOR THE NATIONALMUSEUM The Numismatic Department of the National Museum in Belgrade has been enriched with an exceptional collection of Serbian medieval coins. Driven by a collector’s passion, the former owner collected medieval silver coins, carefully and expertly, over the course of ve decades, with the clear desire for the entire collection, comprising 251 examples, to ultimately nd a permanent haven in Serbia’s central and oldest museum – the National Museum. Following a thorough examination of the coins and chemical analyses of the alloys, the commission of experts from several eminent institutions was convinced that this is a valuable collection. Not wanting to miss out on such a procurement opportunity, the National Museum, via the Ministry of Culture and Information, received unreserved support and exceptional nancial assistance. Museum Advisor Dr. Vesna Radić, curator of the Collection of Byzantine, Serbian and European Medieval Coins at the National Museum, says with obvious delight that we’d never previously had an opportunity to repurchase a continuous series that follows the forging of coins by Serbian rulers from the mid-13th to mid-15th centuries, and which provides insight into the development of the monetary system of medieval Serbia. Visitors to the National Museum will be able to see this unique numismatic collection exhibited in the Atrium of the National Museum frommid-January. Beginning with the earliest minting of Serbian kings and emperors, such as the coin of King Radoslav with the Virgin (1228-1234), via Dušan’s coin with his imperial title, all the way to the issuance of Serbian despots: Stefan Lazarević (1389-1427) Lazar Branković (1456-1458), unique specimens of the dinar will be on display for the rst time - featuring King Marko on horseback, or Đurađ Balšić with a helmet and wolf’s head. Dinar Đurđa Balšića, 1370– 1378. Đurđa Balšića’s dinar, 1370-1378 Dinar kralja Marka 1371–1395. King Marko’s dinar 1371 -1395 National museum / Luka Banda
