He was an ambitious and visionary ruler, the first to officially obtain and bear the title of Grand Voivode, a sign of the consolidation of sovereign authority, a title which also appears on the coins of the time issued by him. Although often overshadowed by his son's fame, Radu I played an essential role in forming the political and economic foundation of the medieval Romanian Country.
