| Description : On the occasion of the wedding of the Monegasque princely
couple, a commemorative coin was issued in 2011 showing Prince Albert II in profile on the back and Princess
Charlène in profile on the front. For the 10th wedding anniversary, a coin was minted with updated portraits
of the couple, whereby both heads are again shown in profile, but the visible part of the upper body of the Princess is in
three‐quarter profile ‐ as if she were turning her right shoulder towards the Prince. At the top,
"♦ MONACO ♦" designates the issuing country, each flanked by a diamond borrowed from the coat of
arms of Monaco. At the bottom the occasion of issue "MARIAGE PRINCIER" (Royal Marriage) is indicated, flanked on the left
by the wedding year "2011" and subsequently by a cornucopia as mint mark of the French mint Monnaie de Paris in
Pessac, on the right by the square mintmaster's logo of the French chief engraver Joaquin Jimenez and the year of
issue "2021". |
