| Beschrijving keerzijde | Shield of the arms of Monaco — bendy of lozenges argent and gules — surmounted by a princely coronet adorned with floral or foliate elements. The motto or secondary legend referencing DEO IVVANTE appears on a ribbon or scroll across the shield, visible as 'DIO.IVV' in the central band. The Latin legend surrounding the shield records the prince's additional titles as Duke of Valentinois and Peer of France, with the date appearing at the beginning of the legend. The entire composition is characteristic of mid-17th century heraldic coin design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré II secured formal recognition of Monegasque sovereignty from Louis XIII in 1641 through the Treaty of Péronne, which ended Spanish suzerainty and brought Monaco under French protection. These coins, struck roughly fifteen years after that treaty, represent the first sustained coinage issued under a truly independent Monegasque authority — before Péronne, Monaco had no practical basis for a domestic silver coinage of its own.
The series is notably short-lived, confined to 1658–1659, the final year of Honoré II's reign before his death in January 1662.
