Interesting fact
The 1 Follaro coin from the City of Shkodër (Albanian States) was minted during the reign of Sultan Bayezid I, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1389 to 1402. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to standardize currency across the empire. The coin's design features an inscription in Arabic script, which reads "Al-Sultani al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan) and "Bayezid bin Muhammad" (Bayezid, son of Muhammad). This coin is a rare example of early Ottoman coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
