About this plate
TRAILERS over 750 kg. The A block is exactly 999 registrations wide, which is the smallest closed number space in the ordinary Monegasque system.
Format notes
Art. 6: "une lettre et un groupe de trois chiffres au plus, soit du n° A001 au n° A999." The letter is fixed at A, which is why A is absent from the car letter-prefix alphabet. Only trailers over 750 kg carry their own plate; lighter ones repeat the towing vehicle's (Code de la route arts. 92-93).
