| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Honoré II facing right, with long flowing hair, wearing armour with a lace collar, rendered in high relief in the Baroque manner. The effigy occupies the lower two-thirds of the field, with the engraver's name or a brief inscription appearing beneath the truncation. The circular legend runs along the outer rim, separated from the field by a beaded inner border. The portrait is boldly modelled, characteristic of the medallic style of Claude Warin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré II secured formal recognition of Monegasque sovereignty from Louis XIII in 1641 — the Treaty of Péronne that ended Spanish suzerainty over the principality and aligned Monaco with France. This coin, struck just over a decade later, was among the first issues produced under that reoriented political status. Honoré II had also, in 1633, become the first ruler of Monaco to formally adopt the title of Prince, elevating the territory from a lordship.
The Gadoury reference places this among the rarer Monaco silver issues of the period, with surviving examples disproportionately concentrated in cabinet collections rather than the trade market.
