Interesting fact
The 1 Follaro coin from the City of Dulcigno (Montenegrin States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Montenegrin States were a collection of territories that were under the rule of the Balšić noble family in the 14th century, and the issuance of this coin likely reflects the growing influence of the city of Dulcigno (now known as Ulcinj) in the region. The fact that it was made of copper also speaks to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people of Dulcigno, who likely used locally available materials to produce the coin.
