A motto scroll inscribed DEO IVVANTE (With God's help) appears on a ribbon across the centre of the shield. The date appears at the top of the field flanking the crown, and the circumferential legend, separated by stops, runs within the toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré II secured the title "Prince" from Louis XIII in 1612 — the first ruler of Monaco to hold that rank — but spent decades navigating between Spanish and French suzerainty before formally aligning with France in 1641 under the Treaty of Péronne. These écus, struck across nearly a decade of that new arrangement, reflect a principality still asserting independent coinage rights despite its precarious geopolitical position between two major powers. The weight standard follows the French écu blanc closely, a deliberate alignment with the new patron state.
