Grosso - Louis I

Cattaro (modern Kotor, Montenegro) struck this grosso during the brief window of Hungarian suzerainty under Louis I of Anjou, who had wrested Dalmatian coastal control from Venice by the Treaty of Zadar in 1358. The city retained considerable municipal autonomy under Hungarian overlordship, and its coinage reflected that local authority rather than direct royal issue. Louis died in 1382, and the succession crisis that followed reopened the entire Adriatic coast to Venetian pressure — Cattaro would eventually fall back to Venice in 1420.
