This specimen was lot 74112 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2023), where it sold for $80. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Monaco|MONACO]]. 2 Francs, 1924. Poissy Mint. Louis II. NGC MS-65. A charming Gem, with good luster and well struck details throughout." This type was struck at the Poissy mint for the principality of Monaco during the reign of Louis II (r. 1922-49). The module matches that of a [[France 1924 2 francs|French two francs]] of the 1920-27 period. It is a one-year type and not common. Similarly to the French two francs, it is a technically a "good for" token and not a coin.<br />
