Montenegro's government fled to Bordeaux in early 1916 following the Austrian occupation, but trial pieces for a proposed bronze coinage were being prepared in 1915 as the military situation collapsed.

The KM#Pn2 designation confirms pattern status — this piece never entered circulation, and Montenegro would not exist as a sovereign entity again until 2006.
