| Reverse description | The crowned shield of the Grimaldi arms occupies the central field, displaying the characteristic lozengy (fusilly) pattern of alternating argent and gules in the Monegasque heraldic tradition. The escutcheon is surmounted by a princely crown. A circular Latin legend encircles the shield, with the date 1643 appearing in the lower portion of the legend, and a cross serving as the initial mark. |
