description
The red and silver roughened French shield is framed by a hermelin- lined coat and surmounted by a crown.
The chain and the Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Charles surround the shield.
Two minorite monks armed with swords serve as shield holders and are a reminiscence of the conquest of Monaco in 1297 by the soldiers of Francesco Grimaldi , who disguised themselves as monks.
The ribbon under the shield shows the Latin motto of the Grimaldis:
- " Deodorant Juvante "
- ( With God's help ).
