Monaco €2 Monte Carlo 2016 — Value and Rarity

Let's move on to another coin of incredible historical importance. In this case, we are talking about the €2 Commemorative coin minted in 2016 in honor of the 150th anniversary of the foundation of Monte Carlo by Charles III or Carlo III of Monaco.

Charles III was the reigning prince of Monaco from June 20, 1856, until his death on September 10, 1889. The prince is particularly remembered for the establishment of the Monte Carlo casino, created to replenish the state’s coffers after the previous government's extravagance.

On the National Side or Obverse, we can indeed observe the representation of Charles III with Monte Carlo in the background.

At the top, the word “MONACO” is prominently displayed, which is also enclosed between the cornucopia, the symbol of the Paris mint, and the symbol of the mint director Yves Sampo, a pentagon with the letters AGMP (Atelier de Gravure de la Monnaie de Paris et Pessac). At the bottom, we can see the circular inscription “1866 CHARLES III FONDE MONTE CARLO 2016”. As usual, the outer edge features the 12 five-pointed stars representing the European states.

The Reverse is characterized by the Common Side of the €2 coins. The coin is included in a FS Coin Box. The author is Atelier de Gravure Sainquantin.
