正面铭文	HONORATUS II. D. G . PRINCEPS . MONOECI
背面描述	The arms of Monaco — the lozengy shield of the Grimaldi family, fusilly bendy of argent and gules — displayed prominently at center, surmounted by a princely crown. The heraldic shield occupies the majority of the reverse field, with a circular Latin legend surrounding it bearing the ruler's additional titles and the date of issue. The die-work is characteristic of hammered silver coinage of the period, with some weakness of strike evident on the irregular flan.

附加信息	Honoré II secured the title "Prince of Monaco" from Louis XIII in 1612 — the first of his dynasty to hold it — after decades of Spanish suzerainty that had kept the Grimaldis nominally subordinate. The coinage he issued from the 1640s onward was a deliberate assertion of that princely rank, struck under rights granted by the French crown. Monaco's mint output from this period is genuinely scarce; the principality's small population and limited commercial reach meant production runs were modest, and attrition over four centuries has been severe.
