Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area.

Issuing country: Principality of Monaco

Subject of commemoration: 10th anniversary of the marriage of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene

Description of the design: The design shows the profile portraits of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene. At the top, the name of the issuing country ‘MONACO’ appears. At the bottom, appears in a semi-circle the inscription ‘2011 MARIAGE PRINCIER 2021’.
