Montenegro Prince Nicholas I, 1896 Definitive Issue
Montenegro · 1896 · 2 Novčića
This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of Prince Nicholas I of Montenegro, who ruled the country for over 50 years. The design is framed by an ornate border with the country's name 'ЦРНА ГОРА' (Crna Gora) in Cyrillic script at the top and the denomination '2 НОВЧИЋА' (2 Novčića) at the bottom.
Issued in 1896, this stamp was part of a series celebrating the bicentennial of the Petrović-Njegoš dynasty. Prince Nicholas I's long reign saw Montenegro's transformation from a principality to a kingdom and its recognition as an independent state.
