Albert II, Prince of Monaco
As Monaco's head of state, Prince Albert II is depicted on coins, including collectors' coins, with very rare exceptions. One of the most recent examples is the €5 silver Prince Albert II commemorative coin, the first commemorative coin with his effigy on it, minted in 2008. On the obverse, the prince is depicted in profile with his name on the top of the coin. On the reverse, the Grimaldi coat of arms appears; around it, the words "Principauté de Monaco" (Principality of Monaco) also appear along with the nominal monetary value of the coin.As the prince, his official shortened title is "His Serene Highness Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco"; this does not include the many other styles claimed by the Grimaldi family.
List of diplomatic missions in Monaco
This page lists diplomatic missions resident in Monaco. At present, the Principality hosts three embassies. Due to the renegotiation of the treaty governing relations with France, Monaco is now able to receive and send ambassadors in its own right rather than being restricted to consular relations with other countries. Monaco is therefore in the process of establishing full diplomatic relations with other countries, and grants accreditation to new ambassadors on a regular basis. Some countries, while accrediting an ambassador from Paris, conduct day-to-day relations and provide consular services from Consulates General in nearby French cities, such as Marseille or Nice, or employ Honorary Consuls.
