| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of Prince Albert II of Monaco occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with finely modelled facial features. The circumferential legend reads 'ALBERT II · PRINCE DE MONACO' along the upper arc, with the date '2008' inscribed at the base of the coin, flanked by two small decorative stops. The portrait is unadorned and contemporary in style, consistent with official Monégasque numismatic portraiture of the period. |

| Reverse description | The full achievement of the Grimaldi coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting the quartered shield of Monaco — fusilly in bend of argent and gules — surmounted by the princely crown and supported by two armed monk-figures holding swords, a traditional heraldic motif of the House of Grimaldi. A ribbon below the shield bears the motto 'DEO JUVANTE'. The legend 'PRINCIPAUTÉ DE MONACO' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '20 €' is boldly struck in the lower field. |
