Comment

Nomenclature or Designation of Nikola I (Nicholas I)
As Prince Nicholas I (Life:1841-1921) of the Principality of Montenegro (Reign:1860-1910)
& as King Nicholas I (Life:1841-1921) of the Kingdom of Montenegro (Reign:1910-1918)

In 2002 and 2006, a re-strike was minted, but with no circulation value so it qualifies as a "commemorative restrike token".

Interesting fact

The 10 Para coin from Montenegro, issued between 1906 and 1908, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of showing the usual coat of arms or national emblem, it depicts a stylized image of a woman representing the country, surrounded by olive branches and a crescent moon. This design was meant to symbolize peace and prosperity, and it stands out among other coins of the time for its distinctive and artistic style.
