| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Princess Grace of Monaco, her hair elegantly arranged in a chignon. The circular legend PRINCESSE GRACE DE MONACO arcs around the upper field, while the birth and death years 1929 · 1982 appear in the lower field flanking the portrait. The engraver's signature R.B. BARON is inscribed to the right of the bust in the field. The overall style is restrained and classical, befitting a commemorative essai issue struck in honor of the late Princess. |
