The Principality of Monaco is releasing a collection of 2-euro commemorative coins marking the tenth anniversary of the Grimaldi Historical Sites of Monaco.
The coin corresponds with the titles held by Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, the twin children of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene.

The coin represents the Marquisate of Baux, a fief granted by King Louis XIII of France in 1642 to Prince Honoré II for his son, Hercule. Princess Jacques is the current Marquis of Baux. The image depicts a view of the rock of Baux-de-Provence. It also shows the County of Carladès and shows a heraldic element taken from the coat of arms of the former fief. Princess Gabriella is the current Countess of Carladès. Both Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella have held these titles from birth.
The coin will be available on 4 November via the website of the Museum of Stamps and Coins.
