| Additional information |
Monaco's 2009 commemorative marks the tenth anniversary of European Economic and Monetary Union — an occasion that prompted most eurozone members, and several non-members like Monaco, to issue dedicated pieces. Monaco's inclusion is a function of its monetary agreement with France, which obligates the principality to use the euro but permits a small annual allocation of collector-grade issues under strict ECB quotas. The mintage ceiling for Monégasque commemoratives is among the tightest of any euro-issuing authority, consistently below 10,000 pieces.
