| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré II secured the title of Prince of Monaco from Spain in 1612, but by the late 1640s he had pivoted dramatically, expelling the Spanish garrison and placing Monaco under French protection through the Treaty of Péronne in 1641. This écu was struck in the immediate aftermath of that realignment, issued by a ruler who had effectively traded one master for another and needed coinage that projected independent princely authority.
The second portrait type distinguishes this issue from the earlier Gad#MC29 series. Relatively few examples survive in problem-free condition — nearly a century of circulation under successive Grimaldi administrations took its toll on silver of this module.
