Additional information

Antivari — today's Bar, in Montenegro — operated as a semi-autonomous commune under Venetian and later Serbian influence throughout the fourteenth century, and its civic coinage is among the rarest products of the eastern Adriatic medieval mints. The follaro denomination itself was a base copper issue circulating at the bottom of the monetary hierarchy, used for petty transactions in port markets where Venetian grossi and Serbian dinars were too valuable for small exchange.

Dobrinić's cataloguing of this type remains the primary reference, reflecting how little documentary evidence survives from the Antivari mint itself.
