The perun was the currency that was planned for introduction in Montenegro by Petar II Petrović Njegoš in 1851. However, he died the same year, and Montenegro remained without a currency until the 1906 introduction of the perper by Nicholas I of Montenegro. It was named after (whom Njegoš considered to be) the supreme god of Slavic mythology Perun. If introduced, one Perun would have had equal value to two thalers.
