| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within an oak wreath tied at the base, the denomination CINQ CENTIMES is inscribed in two lines across the centre of the field, with the date below. Beneath the date, a pair of clasped hands (symbolising good faith or alliance) is depicted, flanked by the mint mark M to the right and C to the left, forming the initials M C for Monaco. The wreath is composed of detailed oak leaves and acorns, and the entire design is enclosed within a toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré V ruled Monaco under French July Monarchy oversight, a period of considerable tension between the Grimaldi family and their restive subjects in Menton and Roquebrune — towns that would formally secede from Monegasque rule just over a decade later. The principality's copper coinage of this period was struck in extremely limited quantities befitting a microstate of Monaco's size, and the two-year window of this particular small-head variety reflects an almost immediate dissatisfaction with the portrait die.
The KM#95.2a designation separates it from the large-head type of the same denomination, a distinction that matters considerably to completists working through the Honoré V series.
