The Monaco Stamp Office has chosen to depict François Grimaldi, known as Malizia, who, on the night of 8 January 1297, disguised as a Franciscan monk, took back the fortress of Monaco from the Ghibellines by deception, thus establishing the Grimaldi dynasty.

NOTE - In 1982, Monaco used the same legend for their Europa stamps issued on the theme "Historic events"!
