Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Balsa III ND (1403-1421) coin from the City of Antivari (Montenegrin States) is that it was minted during the reign of Balša III, who was a member of the Balšić noble family and ruled the Principality of Zeta (now modern-day Montenegro) from 1403 to 1421. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin from this time period and region, and its preservation in such good condition is a testament to the skill of the medieval mint masters who produced it.
