Interesting, it looks like it was hand engraved.

 

That's an interesting coin for sure. Quite expensive, I presume.

 

Were these the coins made out of captured cannons?

 

The coin is silver, to my understanding

 

The Siege of Cattaro was fought between a British Royal Naval detachment and Montenegrin forces under Captain William Hoste, John Harper and Petar I Petrović-Njegoš respectively and the French garrison under command of Jean-Joseph Gauthier of the mountain fortress of Cattaro (now Kotor, Montenegro). The siege lasted from 14 October 1813 to 3 January 1814 during the Adriatic campaign of the Napoleonic Wars when the French surrendered.The engagement was fought in the Adriatic Sea for possession of the important fortress of Cattaro.

Jean-Joseph Gauthier held his position with only few hundred men.
During those 2 and a half months, they made this silver coin

If there is someone else who have 5f or 10f, I would be happy if he would contacted me
