## About this plate

THE 0000 PLATE. This is the only four-zero group in Monegasque law, and it is a COLLECTORS' plate, not a princely one. It is modelled precisely because the "000 belongs to the Princely family" claim is so widely repeated: the string that claim half-remembers exists, and it means something else. Distinguish it from the "Série Véhicules de collection" for vehicles over thirty years old, which uses ordinary characters and is not a plate series at all.

## Format notes

A SINGLE-VALUE SERIES. Art. 6, "Plaques de collection": "un groupe de quatre zéros ; couleur des caractères : bleu." The pattern spells the zeros as literals rather than as 9 tokens, because a 9 token would generate serials this series does not contain.
