 | The first card issued in Montenegro officially have a mintage of 100,000, however this is not completely true, and this card could be more fascinating looking at particulars.
We know in fact that the first part of the control number in Montenegro cards indicate the units value of the card itself. So, we'll have 0100 for a 100 units card, 0300 for a 300 units, and so on.
But the control of the first card doesn't follow this rule: the common number 50 indicating the units is followed by ten different numbers, from 00 to 09, and for each number 10,000 cards were printed, for a total of 100,000. Here is that, for the fun of specialized collector, ten different cards exist, each one with a printing of 10,000. |
