Nice pieces. I can't say I have seen any of the designs before.

Is the last image the complete army of Monaco?

Interesting coins, I only have a few, a 1 FR from 1945 and a 20FR from 1951.

I'm currently "just down the road" from Monaco. Arrived at the Nice airport a few hours ago. Will be spending the week in the hills above Nice at a management conference center. Sure beats the tundra!

Groovy. I hadn't seen the designs with the mounted knight before.

I can remember from my youth (when I collected stamps) that monaco had the most beautifully engraved postage stamps.

You coins aren't bad either.

Excellent thread. We want more.
