The 2015 Monaco 2-euro coin celebrates the 800th anniversary of the construction of the first castle on the Rock of Monaco. The castle on the Rock was built in the 13th century and symbolises the strength and historical courage of the Principality of Monaco. The anniversary celebrations provided an opportunity to recognise the importance of the castle as a historical and architectural treasure of Monaco, as well as to celebrate its influence on the development of the country and its inhabitants. This jubilee makes it possible to remember the heritage of previous generations and the heroic deeds that left a rich legacy for future generations.
