Comment
Weight between 3.5g and 4.5g Interesting fact
The Pezzetta Antoine 1er 1707-1708 coin from Monaco is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the principality. The coin was minted in 1707-1708, during the reign of Prince Antoine I, who ruled Monaco from 1701 until his death in 1731. During his reign, Prince Antoine I implemented a number of reforms, including the creation of a new currency, the Monégasque franc, which replaced the traditional Billon coinage. The Pezzetta Antoine 1er coin is a rare example of this transitional period in Monaco's history, and its unique blend of French and Monégasque influences makes it a valuable and interesting addition to any coin collection.
