Interesting fact
The 1 Follaro coin from the City of Antivari (Montenegrin States) made of Copper weighing 1.85g 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 notable for its unique design, which features an image of the Virgin Mary on one side and the coat of arms of the city on the other. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
