This set of two stamps commemorates the 20th anniversary of Prince Rainier III's accession to the throne of Monaco. The 1.00 Franc stamp features a portrait of the Prince, while the 2.00 Franc stamp shows him alongside his wife, Princess Grace. Both designs are formal portraits celebrating the long reign and the royal couple.

Issued in 1973, these stamps mark a significant milestone in the reign of Prince Rainier III, who was instrumental in transforming Monaco's economy and raising its international profile, partly through his marriage to American actress Grace Kelly.
