Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the brief reign of Jérôme Bonaparte, the youngest brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, who ruled the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813. The coin's design features Jérôme's portrait on one side and the Westphalian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's allegiance to the French Empire. Despite its relatively short circulation period, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
