History of the Monaco 2007 Grace Kelly 2 Euro
Issued for the 25th anniversary of Princess Grace’s death, Monaco’s 2007 commemorative is the most valuable circulating-format euro coin ever made. Just 20,001 pieces were struck, sold by Monaco’s treasury in a single day — most into the hands of dealers and collectors who never spent them.
The coin shows the former Hollywood star in profile with a flowing hairline, designed by R.B. Baron. Because virtually the entire mintage was preserved uncirculated, a worn example is actually a red flag rather than a bargain.
The Grace Kelly 2 euro was struck in 2007 only in bi-metallic nickel-brass and copper-nickel. Each coin weighs 8.5 grams and measures 25.75 mm across.
How much is a Grace Kelly 2 euro worth?
Like every collectible coin, the value of a Grace Kelly 2 euro comes down to grade, rarity and demand. The ranges below are approximate retail prices collectors pay for problem-free examples — coins that have been cleaned, scratched or holed usually trade well below these figures.
Prices have climbed steadily since issue and individual auction results above €4,000 are documented for pristine examples with original packaging.
For a live market check, recent sold listings beat out-of-date price guides every time. CoinVault Pro combines Numista catalog data with real eBay sold prices for every coin it recognizes, so you can see what buyers are actually paying this month — not what a book claimed years ago.

How to identify a genuine Monaco 2007 Grace Kelly 2 Euro
Authentication starts with the basics: weight, diameter, design details and the way the surfaces look. For the Grace Kelly 2 euro, check the following:
If anything feels off — the weight is wrong, the details are mushy, or the surfaces look cast rather than struck — get a second opinion before buying or selling. Valuable dates are exactly the coins counterfeiters target most.
- Fakes are everywhere online — Chinese-made replicas often show a mushy portrait and wrong edge lettering.
- Weight must be 8.5 grams at 25.75 mm with the standard 2 euro edge.
- A "bargain" Grace Kelly under €1,500 is almost certainly counterfeit.
- Buy only with certification or from established euro-coin dealers.
