Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Djuradj II Stracimirovic, who was the ruler of the Principality of Zeta (now known as Montenegro) during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. He was known for his military campaigns against the neighboring Ottoman Empire and his efforts to strengthen the economy and culture of his principality. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver also reflect the importance of trade and commerce during this time period.
