Interesting fact
The 1 Ecu coin from Monaco, issued during the reign of Antonio I (1707-1715), features an interesting design element - the coat of arms of the Grimaldi family, who ruled Monaco at the time, is depicted on the coin's reverse side. This coat of arms includes two monkeys holding a shield with the Grimaldi family's emblem, which is a crowned dolphin. This unique design was meant to symbolize the Grimaldi family's long history and connection to the sea.
