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 features an image of Jérôme Bonaparte on one side and the Westphalian coat of arms on the other. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Clausthal Ausbeute, a mint established in the town of Clausthal in the Harz mountains of Germany. Despite its relatively short mintage, the coin remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
