Montenegro's State Treasury issued this note in 1914 under genuinely desperate conditions — the country had been continuously at war since 1912, first in the Balkan Wars and then sliding directly into the First World War. The Treasury, not a central bank, was responsible for emission precisely because Montenegro lacked one. These notes were a fiscal improvisation, backed by little beyond the government's stated authority.
The 1914 series was printed in Serbia before the Austrian occupation severed that option entirely. By late 1915, Montenegro was overrun, and unredeemed treasury notes became effectively worthless overnight.
