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

    Is the last image the complete army of Monaco? image

    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! imageimage

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

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    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.image
