| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central shield bearing the lozengy coat of arms of the Grimaldi family and Principality of Monaco, surmounted by a princely crown with elaborate fleurons and acanthus decoration. A ribbon or label inscribed DE·O·IWAN· (likely a die sinker's mark or motto fragment) appears across the upper portion of the shield. The surrounding legend reads DVX·VALENT·PAR·Ꞩ·FRANCIÆ·&c·, with the date 1655 divided at the top of the field. An inner beaded border frames the reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré II secured recognition of Monegasque sovereignty from Louis XIII in 1641 — the Treaty of Péronne that ended Spanish suzerainty over the rock. This coin was struck just fourteen years later, during a reign in which Honoré was aggressively asserting Monaco's independent identity through coinage. The "faux écu" designation reflects a denomination calibrated to approximate the French écu without formal equivalence, a deliberate ambiguity that suited a principality navigating between French protection and autonomous monetary pretension.
