Monégasque euro design

For images of the common side and a detailed description of the coins, see euro coins.

The first sets of euro coins were minted in 1999 and the euro was put into circulation in the eurozone (and 4 European microstates, like Monaco) in 2002. However, the first euro coins of Monaco are marked 2001, not 1999 or 2002.
