| Reverse description | Central field features the crowned Grimaldi coat of arms — the quartered lozenge shield of Monaco — supported by two monk-knights and flanked by symmetrical laurel branches forming a wreath open at the base. Below the shield, the denomination '10 FRANCS' is inscribed in two lines, followed by the date '1945' in the lower field. The word 'ESSAI' appears on the reverse lettering, identifying this piece as a pattern or trial strike. The overall composition is formal and heraldic, consistent with official Monegasque coinage design of the period. |
