Monaco 10 Euro 2019 Grace Kelly

Grace Patricia Kelly was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 12, 1929. She came from a sporting family û her father won three gold medals and her brother won one bronze medal at the Olympic Games. Grace Kelly was less-interested in sports, but dreamed of a career as an actress . She fulfilled this dream wonderfully well because, in 1955, she won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best actress in the film 'The Country Girl'. She had to give up her career when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. This fairy-tale marriage ended abruptly in 1982 when she was tragically killed in a road traffic collision. Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco had 3 children - Caroline Louise Marguerite, Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre (also known as Albert II, the current monarch of Monaco) and Stephanie Marie Elisabeth. It has been 90 years since Grace Kelly was born and to commemorate her name it was decided to issue a special 10 Euro coin with her as the subject.

Furthermore, the text 'PRINCESSE GRACE DE MONACO' is displayed together with the year 2019. The coin is minted is the highest quality, proof, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
