| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré II had only secured formal recognition of Monegasque sovereignty from Louis XIII in 1641, eight years before this piece was struck — the title "Prince of Monaco" itself was new enough that coinage of this ambition functioned as a political statement to every court in Europe. A five-doppie piece in near-pure gold at this weight was not money in any practical sense; it was minted to be seen, presented, and kept.
The doppie denomination traces to Italian monetary conventions Monaco had long orbited, and KM#17 is among the most substantial gold issues of any microstate ruler of the period.
