Interesting fact
The 1 Follaro coin from the City of Antivari (Montenegrin States) made of Copper weighing 2.11g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the medieval period in Europe, specifically during the 14th century. It is also unique because it was issued by a city-state, rather than a national government, which was a common practice during that time. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper, a relatively common metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by the people of Antivari, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy elite.
