Interesting fact
This coin features a unique design element - it includes a portrait of Louis II, who was the Sovereign Prince of Monaco from 1920 until his death in 1949. The "Essai" mint mark indicates that it was a trial strike, meaning it was produced to test the dies before mass production began.
