| Beschrijving keerzijde | A displayed double-headed imperial eagle with wings spread, each head surmounted by a small crown and the whole topped by an imperial orb. The numeral '28' appears on a plain shield at the centre of the eagle's breast. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle, reading FERIT ET TUETUR GEMINO ROSTRO, meaning 'It strikes and protects with a double beak', alluding to Monaco's dual role as a sovereign and protected state. Small mintmaster's marks appear at the base of the eagle. The engraving is bold and typical of the hammered silver coinage issued under Prince Honoré II. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honoré II, the first to formally use the title Prince of Monaco after wresting recognition from Spain in 1612, aligned the principality with France under the 1641 Treaty of Péronne — a diplomatic pivot that directly shaped the monetary output of his reign. The izelotte belongs to a coinage tradition derived from the Italian "isolotto," a denomination common to Genoese-influenced territories, and Monaco's issues remain among the rarest products of any western Mediterranean microstate from the seventeenth century.
Gad#MC44 is a notably low-survival type. The principality's tiny population meant striking volumes were minimal, and later French monetary unification further reduced the incentive to preserve Monégasque silver.
