Here is the info from the official Journal...
http://cloud.gouv.mc/Dataweb/Jourmon.ns ... enDocument
There is a difference
- 110.000 pièces commémoratives de millésime 2012 ;
- 1.082.373 pièces de millésime 2012

So there will be a single 2E normal coin in UNC condition too... No other denominations at the moment.

According to some information in forums...
10,000 in Proof in July and 100,000 in UNC will appear 'later'

Any news about non BU Monaco 2€ cc 2012 coins?

The coin is issued for circulation, I have seen it myself at a German coindealer.
