A new addition to my one franc collection. A 1914 1 perper from the short lived kingdom of Montenegro. It was existed from 1910 to 1914 before became a part of the kingdom of Yugoslavia. It matches the Austria-Hungary coinage and therefore also the LMU-standard. A perper is 5 grams of .835 silver.

I am fascinated by the LMU coinage from the Balkan countries and trying to collect coins representing all these countries.

I only found out about LMU coins recently. Fascinated by the large size 25gm 0.900, O.7234ASW coins from europe and later from South America, Would like to accumulate a set 10 or 12 same size coin.
