| Reverse description | The inner disc displays a stylised relief map of the European continent without national borders, positioned to the left of centre, with the denomination '2 EURO' inscribed to the right. The designer's initials 'LL' for Luc Luycx appear to the lower right of the map. The outer ring carries the twelve stars of the European Union, consistent with the standard common reverse design for euro circulation coinage. |

| Additional information |
Monaco's commemorative euro program is tightly controlled by the Monegasque government, and issues are deliberately kept to low mintages — this piece, marking the marriage of Prince Albert II to Charlene Wittstock on July 2, 2011, was struck in a quantity of just 11,001 pieces. That near-impossibly small figure places it among the lowest official eurozone circulating commemoratives ever produced, and legitimate examples command multiples of face value almost immediately upon release.
Collectors should be aware that Monaco's 2-euro commemoratives are frequently counterfeited using common eurozone blanks. The Gadoury reference MC201 is the standard attribution for authentication purposes.
