Monaco's coat of arms consists of a fused coat of arms Argent and Gules. The bearers are hairy, bearded and shod friars, each carrying a raised sword, evoking the conquest of Monaco in 1297 by François Grimaldi and his companions disguised as monks. The motto is that of the Grimaldis: " Deo Juvante ", meaning "With God's help"^[1]. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armoiries_de_Monaco

Les armoiries de Monaco se composent d'un blason fuselé d’argent et de gueules. Les tenants sont des frères mineurs chevelus, barbus et chaussés, portant chacun une épée levée, évoquent la conquête de Monaco en 1297 par François Grimaldi et ses compagnons déguisés en moines. La devise est celle des Grimaldi : « Deo Juvante » qui signifie « Avec l'aide de Dieu »^[1]. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armoiries_de_Monaco
