| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a crowned Phoenix displayed standing upon a flaming brazier, its wings spread, with the numeral 28 inscribed within a cartouche on its breast, symbolizing both the denomination and the mythological theme of renewal and rebirth. The design is rendered in the baroque engraving style associated with mid-seventeenth-century Monegasque issues. The circumscribed Latin legend IN. SENECTV TE. VIRESCIT encircles the central device, a phrase meaning 'it grows green again in old age,' an allusion to the Phoenix legend and to the principality's enduring vitality. |
