Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 sol après dévaluation - Antoine I 1720 from Monaco made of Billon weighing 0.95 g is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Monaco. The coin was minted in 1720, just a few years after Monaco had been affected by a financial crisis that had led to a devaluation of its currency. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation. This fact highlights the resilience and adaptability of the Monegasque economy during difficult times.
