Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Tomaš Ostojić Kotromanić, who was the last Bosnian king before the Ottoman Empire conquered Bosnia in 1463. Despite being a small silver coin, it has great historical significance as it represents the last independent Bosnian kingdom before it was absorbed into the Ottoman Empire.
