Monaco has no central bank and issues no independent currency — it uses the euro under a monetary agreement with the EU. This 50 francs piece is a commemorative or fantasy note, not legal tender, and was never authorized by any official Monégasque monetary authority. The franc itself ceased to be Monaco's currency when France adopted the euro in 2002.
Matej Gabris is a Slovak designer known for producing high-quality polymer fantasy notes marketed to collectors, often featuring mictoprinting and security-style design elements that mimic genuine issues. Attractive objects, but the catalog should reflect what they are.
