    Why "Deo Juvante"?
    What do the posh people of Monaco wish to achieve "With God's Help"?

    Hasn't God been pretty helpful to them already?

    Several governments in this world seem to like religious mottos on coins. ;)

    And this year one can easily pay between 700 and 900 euro for a bimetallic €2 coin. The "800th anniversary of the construction of the first Castle on the rock" commem has a mintage of 10,000. Phh, je m'en fous. :confused:

    This was one of the "Chamber of Commerce" coins, quite similar to the pieces issued in France in those days. The depiction of Hercules refers to Monaco's history by the way: The place had been a Phoenician trade port which the Romans later called "Portus Herculis Monœci", see here ...

    Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but it seems to be the only Monaco-themed thread around. 100 Francs, 1950, Prince Rainier III
