Description: This stamp is a 1-franc (1 F) commemorative issue from the Principality of Monaco (Monaco). The monochromatic intaglio design features a elegant left-facing profile portrait of Princess Grace, the iconic American Academy Award-winning actress Grace Kelly who retired from Hollywood to marry Prince Rainier III. She is beautifully depicted wearing a delicate diamond tiara nestled in her braided chignon hairstyle, an elegant beaded necklace, and a draped formal gown. The principality name "MONACO" is centered horizontally within a dark banner along the upper margin, flanked by two square tablets displaying the face value "1 F". A stylized column border made of fine horizontal lines lines both the left and right margins, while a dedicated inscription tablet at the very bottom records the historic date "23 JANVIER 1957".
