Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Frank - Jérôme Bonaparte (Nickel pattern) 1808 from Kingdom of Westphalia (German States) made of Nickel weighing 2.34 g is that it was designed by the famous German engraver and medalist, Johann Nepomuk Schwerdtner. Schwerdtner was known for his exceptional skill in creating detailed and intricate designs, and his work on this coin is a great example of his craftsmanship. The coin's design features a portrait of Jérôme Bonaparte, the youngest brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, who ruled the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813. The coin's nickel composition and relatively low weight also make it a unique and interesting piece in the history of numismatics.
