| Reverse description | The crowned and mantled coat of arms of Montenegro occupies the central field, featuring a double-headed eagle on the shield beneath an elaborate royal mantle surmounted by a jewelled crown. The arms are flanked by laurel and oak sprigs forming a wreath open at the base. The denomination '20' appears prominently below the shield, with the denomination 'ПЕРПЕРА' on a scroll beneath it, and the date '1910' in the exergue. The Cyrillic legend 'КЊАЖЕВИНА ЦРНА ГОРА' (Principality of Montenegro) curves along the upper rim, separated by a beaded border. |
