Montenegro Prince Nicholas I, 1902 Definitive Issue

Montenegro · 1902 · 25h (Heller)

This definitive stamp features a right-facing portrait of Prince Nicholas I of Montenegro, who ruled the country for over 50 years. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the country's name 'ЦРНА ГОРА' (Crna Gora) in Cyrillic script at the top and the denomination '25' at the bottom corners. The stamp is part of a series issued to celebrate the Prince's rule and provide for regular postal needs.

Issued in 1902, this stamp reflects the period of Montenegro's sovereignty as a principality under the long reign of Nicholas I, just before it was elevated to a kingdom in 1910.
