Sažetak
COINS OF PAUL ŠUBIĆ AND HIS BROTHER MLADEN I (1302-1304) Paul Šubić of Bribir made his entry into history as the Ban (vice-roy) of Croatia and Dalmatia as early as 1273, but was dismissed in 1275. He was appointed Ban once more in 1278 and kept this position until his death in 1312. During the dynastic strife in the realm, in which Paul played an important role, Charles II King of Naples, in order to secure his son Charles Martell's succession to the Hungarian and Croatian throne, issued a charter on August 19, 1292 by force of which Paul Šubić and his kin were given almost the whole of Croatia and Dalmatia. The position of Ban was supposed to remain hereditary in Paul's family. King Andrew III of Hungary and Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia, having heard of this, issued a similar charter confirming Paul's status as Ban. Being a good diplomat, Paul of Bribir accepted all the honours and functions offered to him by King Andrew, but did not sever his contacts with the Anjoues from Naples. When Charles Martell died in 1295 the court of Naples tried to place his son Charles Robert to the Hungarian and Croatian throne. Ban Paul was very active in this period settling affairs in his estate. One of the proofs of this is a charter dated December 26, 1289 at Vrana, in which the Ban had to settle a legal case between the Gusić of Krbava family. In this charter he signed himself Ban of Croatia. In a charter dated April 7, 1299 his titles were even wider: Ban of Croatia and Dalmatia and Lord of Bosnia (Banus Croacie, Dalmacie et Dominus Bosne). The Bosnian part of the title and how Paul acquired it still remains obscure, but it is certain that this could not have happened without a war. There must certainly have been a war which lasted for several years, until Paul's brother Mladen reached the Drina in 1302 and conquered Bosnia. At this moment Paul, as Lord of Bosnia, proclamed his brother Mladen Ban of Bosnia. Mladen was for the first time mentioned as Ban of Bosnia in a document in Latin, issued at Hokuća on June 11, 1302 (Nos Mladinus, banus Bosniensis). His rule ended in 1304 when he fell in battle. Ban Paul's coins were struck after the Venetian grossi of the Matapan type. A reason for this was to help the money enter into circulation without being recognized. The grossi resembled the Venetian coins in appearance and weight, the only difference being in the inscription on the reverse. Only five specimens have been published so far, the whereabouts and existence of two among them (under Nos. 2-3) have for a long time remained unknown. The coin described under No. 6 is a recently discovered specimen, sold at a foreign numismatic auction a short time ago.
