| Aanvullende informatie |
Essai pieces struck by the Monnaie de Paris for Monaco occupy an unusual bureaucratic niche — they were produced to satisfy French approval requirements under the monetary convention binding Monaco to France, not for circulation or collector sale in any conventional sense. Rainier III had limited practical authority over his own coinage; the designs required Paris's sign-off before regular issue could proceed.
The gold composition here is specific to the essai format. Circulation strikes of this denomination were cupro-nickel.
