| Additional information |
Issued as part of Monaco's ongoing commemorative program, this piece marks the centenary of Grace Kelly's birth in 1929. Kelly became Princess of Monaco in 1956 following her marriage to Rainier III, a union that the Monnaie de Paris — as the longstanding striking authority for Monégasque coinage — has returned to repeatedly as subject matter. The centenary release attracted significant collector demand beyond Monaco's tiny resident population, as Kelly's cultural profile in the United States and Europe remains unusually durable for a figure of her generation.
Mintage for Monaco commemoratives of this type is tightly capped by agreement with French monetary authorities.
