MONACO, Albert II. 2 Euros. (Cu-Ni. 8.50g/26mm). 2007. Grace Kelly. (Km#186). Uncirculated. Contains official case, although damaged. Rare specimen.
On 14 September 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco died in a car accident. Twenty-five years after her death, the French Monnaie de Paris (Pessac, France) minted this commemorative coin, of which only 20,001 copies were made, making it the first commemorative coin with this module from Monaco. The portrait of the princess on the obverse, the work of Roger Bertrand Baron, had already been used once before: for the coin commemorating her death (10 Francs of 1982) and on a later occasion: on the 5 ounces of Niue gold, with a face value of 1000 dollars.
