5 Francs Monaco - Prince Rainier III

The issuing authority listed here is an error worth noting: Monaco's coinage was never produced or authorized by the Banque Centrale du Congo. Rainier III struck francs through the Monnaie de Paris under agreements tied to Monaco's monetary union with France, which held until the euro conversion in 2002. This piece warrants verification against known counterfeits and fantasy issues before cataloging further.
