Interesting fact
The Pezzetto - Honore III 1734-1735 coin from Monaco is interesting because it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the principality. The coin was issued during the reign of Honoré III, who was the Prince of Monaco from 1732 until his death in 1795. During his reign, Monaco faced challenges such as the loss of its territories in Italy and the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the principality's economy and political structure. Despite these challenges, the Pezzetto - Honore III coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of Monaco's rich history.
