| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Prince Rainier III facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair, set within a beaded inner circle. The engraver's signature P. TURIN appears in small capitals beneath the portrait, with the date 1950 inscribed below. The circular legend RAINIER III PRINCE DE MONACO runs along the upper periphery between the beaded border and the inner circle. The portrait is executed in a clean, modernist style characteristic of Pierre Turin's work for the Monnaie de Paris. |
