About this plate
PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION, four months, on adhesive bands rather than aluminium plates. This is the grammar the secondary accounts mistake for a pre-1979 general series, see header finding 4. Two facts make it the most unusual entry in this file: it is the only Monegasque series with white characters on blue, and it is the only one whose typeface is named in law.
Format notes
Art. 6, série provisoire: the number is composed of "a) un groupe de 4 chiffres pour les véhicules automobiles […] ou de 2 lettres et 2 chiffres pour les motocycles et assimilés ; b) suivi du symbole WW ou WW2, suivi, le cas échéant, d'une lettre de série (A, B, C, etc.) ; c) suivi des lettres MC." The trailing MC is part of THIS serial, the only series in the file where MC is in the string rather than on the plate furniture. Validity four months.
