Interesting fact
The 1 Follaro coin from the City of Antivari (Montenegrin States) made of Copper weighing 2.48 g is interesting because it is one of the few coins from this time period and region that was not made of a precious metal like gold or silver, but rather of a more common metal like copper. This highlights the economic and cultural significance of copper during this time period and the resourcefulness of the people in using readily available materials for currency.
