| Additional information |
Ragusa — modern Dubrovnik — was one of the few medieval city-states to maintain genuine political independence between Venice and the Ottoman sphere for centuries, and its copper coinage was a deliberate instrument of that autonomy. The follaro was the lowest denomination in daily Ragusan commerce, passing through the hands of dockhands, fishmongers, and market traders along the Adriatic coast.
The Type 1 designation spans nearly a century and a half of production, suggesting remarkable institutional continuity from the city's earliest confirmed minting activity through the mid-fifteenth century.
