Montenegrin perper

The perper (Cyrillic: Перпер; plural Перпери) was the currency of Montenegro between 1906 and 1918.

However, due to tight relations with Austro-Hungary, gold coins were issued one year later than silver ones.

Due to historical circumstances, these were the only golden perper issues in the history of Montenegro.

Today, the 100 perper coins are considered to be the finest examples of Montenegrin coinage.

It is not known how many 100 perper coins have been preserved but numismatists generally agree that around 150 specimens still exist, including those stored in the museum collections of the Hermitage, the American Numismatic Society, the British Museum, the Prada and the Vienna Canton.
