Monaco euro coins - Definition and Overview |
|
|
The euro (EUR or €) is the common currency for 12 member states of the European Union and 3 European micro-states, including Monaco. The euro coins have two different sides; one common, European side showing the value of the coin and one national side featuring a design chosen by the Eurozone member state where the coin was minted. Each member state has one or more designs unique to that country.
For images of the common side and a detailed description of the coins, see Euro coins.
Monegasque euro coins feature two separate designs for the first two series of coins, and also two separate designs for the €1 and €2 coins. All the coins are inscribed with the word "Monaco" and the twelve stars of the EU.
