These are the arms of the Grimaldi family. The supporters, two monks holding swords, recall how the disguise under which the first Grimaldi to rule over Monaco penetrated the fort in 1297. The chain is the Order of Charles the Holy and was added in the early 20th century.

The motto Deo Juvante, is Latin for With God's help and is the motto of the Grimaldi family.
