Comment
The production of 100-franc coins was planned as early as 1874, but a breakage of the first corners forced the minting of 20-franc coins first, which had not been foreseen.There is a single-sided lead proof dated 1877 (photo Gadoury édition 2021).

Interesting fact
This gold coin was minted during the reign of Prince Albert I of Monaco, who ruled from 1858 until his death in 1922. He was known as "Albert the Good" and oversaw significant modernization efforts in Monaco, including the development of its infrastructure and tourism industry. The coin's design likely reflects the artistic style popular during this period in Monaco.
