The 1 Follaro coin from the City of Cattaro (Montenegrin States) made of Copper weighing 2.40 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the medieval period, specifically between 1186 and 1369. It was a standard circulation coin, which means it was widely used in trade and commerce during that time.
