Portrait of Albert I. Below the design, the commemorative inscription "ALBERT Ier 1848 – 1922" appears between the mint marks of the Monnaie de Paris and Master Engraver Joaquin Jimenez. The issuing state "MONACO" is positioned to the left of the design and the year "2022" to the right, each flanked by two lozenges.
Each euro country may issue at most two 2-euro commemorative coins per year. Monaco dedicates its 2022 issue to "100th Anniversary of the Death of Prince Albert I" – a motif of national significance that circulates as legal tender right across Europe.
