Monaco Princess Grace Memorial Souvenir Stamp Sheet Appraisal

Monaco Princess Grace Memorial Souvenir Stamp Sheet

This is a philatelic souvenir sheet from Monaco issued in 1982 to commemorate Princess Grace (Grace Kelly) following her death. The sheet is printed on a rectangular white card or heavy paper substrate with a black border. At the top, it features the royal coronet of Monaco above an intertwined 'GG' monogram in blue. Centered in the middle is a 10.00 Franc postage stamp depicting a profile portrait of Princess Grace in black and white, framed by a thick inner black border and perforated edges. The bottom text reads 'EN HOMMAGE A LA PRINCESSE GRACE' followed by her life dates '1929-1982' in a clean, sans-serif black typeface. The overall design follows a somber, minimalist aesthetic appropriate for a memorial piece. The item appears to be housed in a protective black-framed mount or album page. The condition looks excellent with no visible foxing, creases, or tears, preserving the high-quality lithographic or intaglio printing typical of Monégasque stamps. This piece serves as both a postage-valid item and a collectible piece of royal memorabilia from the early 1980s.
