Nicholas I, 50th anniversary medal. Bronze gilt. All are hard to find, especially in silver as very few were made. Condition is very good, old ribbon. Designer's name in relief to bottom of obverse (St. Schwartz). King's head with inscription (to commemorate 50 years of reign 1910). Cross of the Order of Danilo I with dates 1860 - 1910 to reverse. Also in clear relief is a name/mark 'PRINZ' to bottom left of reverse. This could be the jeweller who was hired to manufacture the medals. Although not much is known about him, I have seen this name on another Montenegrian bravery medal. Rare find and a must for a Montenegrian collection. 33mm in diameter. Item # Mon-5. *SOLD* |

| Order of Danilo I (also known as Montenegrian Independence Order). This spectacular decoration was founded in 1861 and statutes had been revised number of times. Neck badge of the 2nd or 3rd class (the same). Appears to be roughly around 1870's vintage with crowned Royal cypher. Silver badge (gilt crown and centers). Interesting example with 2 different centers: obverse appears to be Austrian or German made with rare flat lettering, reverse has beautifully raised inscriptions/dates - possibly in gold (may be also Austrian- or French-made). Unmarked but original. Multi-part construction, some minor enamel cracking (mostly the white outer bands). Contact marks to metal - inner center band (not detractive). Ribbon appears to be original (51mm) or old replacement (watermarked silk!). Complete with neck ties. Cross spans 50mm. Great details to crown and pendilia. Very interesting type of this handsome Order. Item # Mon-1. *SOLD* |
