| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Monaco — quartered lozengy argent and gules — surmounted by a princely crown and supported by two monks holding swords, rendered in fine relief. The arms are flanked by two symmetrical olive or laurel branches extending from the base upward. The denomination 20 and the word FRANCS appear prominently in the lower field, with the date 1945 below. The word ESSAI, identifying this as a pattern strike, appears in the field. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
