DECORATIONS : MONTONEGRO (PRINCIPALITY)

In 1837, this government had medals struck to reward the Klephts (Armatols) for their services in the Greek War of Independence ; these medals contain the Russian arms, and inscription : "To loyalty and valour". Prince Daniel distributed about two hundred of them in 1853.
