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. Jérôme's rule was marked by his attempts to modernize the kingdom and promote the arts, sciences, and education, which is reflected in the design of this coin.
