1 Follaro 2nd type

Cattaro — modern Kotor, in Montenegro — operated as a largely autonomous commune during this period, minting its own copper coinage despite falling under successive suzerainties including Serbian and later Hungarian overlordship. The follaro was the lowest denomination in local circulation, handling the small transactions that silver could not practically serve. Dobrinić's classification of this type reflects the difficulty in dating these issues precisely; the 220-year span assigned is an editorial acknowledgment that die and weight evidence alone cannot narrow it further.
