Comment
Cattaro (Kotor in Montenegro) was part of Venetian Albania until 1797, after which it became part of the French Illyrian Provinces. In 1813 the town was sieged by a British fleet as part of the Napoleonic Wars. In 1815 Cattaro became part of the Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austrian Empire.Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Napoleon I on one side and the coat of arms of the City of Cattaro on the other. The coat of arms includes a depiction of a cat, which is where the city gets its name "Cattaro" from. This unique feature makes the coin a fascinating collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
