| Reverse description | The Monegasque coat of arms dominates the central field, depicting a lozenge-patterned shield in the traditional fusilly bendy of the Grimaldi family, supported by two monks and surmounted by a princely crown with mantle. The denomination numeral 2 appears flanked on either side of the shield, with the word FRANCS inscribed along the lower portion. The word ESSAI appears in small characters in the exergue, identifying this piece as a trial strike. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
