| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design features a standing robed figure of Saint Devote, the patron saint of Monaco, depicted facing forward and holding an upright sword before her, with the quartered lozenge shield of Monaco to her left, surmounted by a princely crown in the upper left field. The large numeral 20 and the denomination legend CENTIMES appear in bold relief to the right of the figure. The motto DEO JUVANTE is split across the left field, with DEO above and JUVANTE below, flanking the heraldic shield. The word ESSAI is inscribed in the lower right field, confirming this piece as a pattern strike. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Essai pieces from Monaco's 1962 coinage reform were produced in extremely limited numbers — typically fewer than a few hundred strikes — as trial submissions required under French monetary practice before production authorization. This particular gold essai exists almost entirely in institutional and specialist collections.
The 1962 reform itself followed Monaco's renegotiation of its monetary convention with France, aligning the principality's coinage with the nouveau franc system introduced by de Gaulle in 1960.
