Additional information

Dulcigno — modern Ulcinj in Montenegro — fell under Serbian control when Stefan Uroš IV Dušan expanded aggressively into the Adriatic coastal territories during the 1340s. Dušan proclaimed himself Emperor of the Serbs and Greeks in 1346, and the occupation of this small but strategically positioned port city produced a localized copper coinage that essentially mimicked the existing Venetian follaro tradition the city had long used. The result is a hybrid issue: Serbian political authority stamped onto a Venetian monetary framework.

Dobriniċ catalogues this as a genuinely rare civic type, reflecting a occupation window of under a decade before the city reverted after Dušan's death in 1355.
