The type is listed as type number 25.1.3 in the book "Medieval Slavic Coinages in the Balkans", by Dimnik and Dobrinic.
The "wolf" is actually a wolf-head crest perched atop a helmet. On your coin, you can see the semicircular dome of the helmet below the jaws.
The catalogue example image is a line-drawing, rather than a photograph, so I'm not entirely sure how true to form this example is, or how much variation in basic design the wolf-head can show for this type. But the inscription seems to match.
