Memorial coin ? Slavic letters not sure what kind of coin unit the 2 is? Country ? Coin Unit ? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 10:24 pm Try looking in one of the other countries that use a double-headed eagle. The use of Cyrillic lettering might ordinarily imply Russia, but the denomination "perpera" just above the date and name of country "Crna Gora" at 5 o'clock on the obverse and 2 o'clock on the reverse tell me this is a coin from Montenegro. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 02:28 am The reverse legend: Principality of Montenegro The obverse legend: Nikola I By The Grace of God Prince and the Sovereign of Montenegro Interesting fact: on August 28, 1910, during the celebration of his golden jubilee, Nickolas (Latinized version of his name) assumed the title of the king thus making Montenegro a kingdom. So, in the later coinage the legend was updated accordingly. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
