Comment

Coinage used during the Siege of Cattaro (1813). Cattaro was part of Venetian Abania until 1797 and the French Illyrian Provinces until 1815. A British fleet besieged it in 1813 during the Napoleonic War. Cattaro became part of the Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austrian Empire in 1815.

Interesting fact

The 1 Franc - Napoleon I 1813 coin from the City of Cattaro (Montenegrin States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during Napoleon's brief rule over the region, which lasted from 1807 to 1814. The coin features an image of Napoleon on one side and the Montenegrin coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the fusion of French and Montenegrin cultures during that period.
