My gallery of a coins from Monaco

Good day, my friends.
I have an interesting collection of a coins of the Principality of Monaco. It is a good-known fact that Monaco is the one of the smallest countries in the whole world. It has an area 2,02 sq.km. only. The population of Monaco is not numerous too - 35986 only. Monaco is a monarchy with an old traditions. Prince Albert II is the ruler.
Monaco is the member of the EURO-zone. But until the January 1 2002 Monaco had an own currency - franc of Monaco. 1 franc of Monaco was equal to 1 French franc.
So I want to show my small collection

Thank you for the thread & photos.
I was going to add a Monaco coin photo that I previously posted at CT but I don't know where to find all those previously posted photos. Are they gone forever?
