Which Montenegrin order lists Nikola Tesla among its notable recipients?

The Montenegrin order listing Nikola Tesla among its notable recipients is the Order of Prince Danilo I. It was one of Montenegro’s principal state decorations during the era of the Principality and Kingdom of Montenegro.

The order was created in honor of Prince Danilo and later underwent changes during the reign of Nikola I Petrović-Njegoš. It recognized service to Montenegro, its ruler and, in broader language, humanity. Its recipients included foreign monarchs, military figures, statesmen and prominent civilians.

Tesla received the decoration in 1895, when his alternating-current work had made him an internationally recognized inventor. His award is often identified as the Grand Cross of the Order of Prince Danilo I, while other accounts describe the exact class differently. That distinction does not change the answer to this quiz question.

Tesla also received several other honors, including Serbia’s Order of St. Sava in 1892 and the Elliott Cresson Medal in 1894. Those awards are why the order’s name can be confused with other decorations in lists of Tesla’s honors.
