Orders, decorations and medals of Montenegro - Taz - 08-13-2013

Dynastic awards
The Kingdom of Montenegro issued its own royal awards up until the monarchy's abolition in 1918. Today, the head of Montenegrin Royal House, Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, has continued to award dynastic honours and this practice is recognised by the Montenegrin State. The three dynastic Orders bestowed by the Royal House are:
Order of Prince Danilo I
Order of Saint Peter of Cetinje
Order of Petrovic Njegos
