Montenegro · 1879 · 7 Novcic

This stamp features a left-facing portrait of Prince Nicholas I of Montenegro, who ruled the country for over 50 years. The design is simple, with the portrait framed by an oval and inscriptions for the country's name 'ЦРНА ГОРА' (Crna Gora) and the denomination '7 НОВЧИЋА' (7 Novčića) in Cyrillic script.

Issued as part of the second definitive series of Montenegro, this stamp reflects the nation's growing sovereignty under Prince Nicholas I, shortly after gaining full independence from the Ottoman Empire at the Congress of Berlin in 1878.
