Monaco Euro Coins

On the basis of an agreement with the EU, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City can distribute Euro Coins, too. The Mon?gasque Euro coins have the smallest mintage quantity of all the Euro Zone members. The passing of H.S.H., the Sovereign Prince Rainier III in April 2005, required a new series of coins be issued, thus Monaco has issued two different series of euro coins. The new series, issued in December 2006, represents the accession of H.S.H., the Sovereign Prince Albert II to the Mon?gasque throne.

The design of the Monaco euro coins:

• €2 coin, HSH Prince Rainier III designed by Pierre Rodier

• 10, 20 and 50-cent coins, the Prince's seal designed by Robert B. Baron
• 1, 2 and 5-cent coins, the coat of arms of the Sovereign Princes of Monaco designed by Robert Cochet
