Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat "Rijksdaalder" coin from the Netherlands, minted during the reign of Louis Napoleon (1806-1808), features an interesting design element - the portrait of Louis Napoleon is depicted facing left, which was a departure from the traditional practice of depicting monarchs facing right on coins. This design choice was likely made to distinguish Louis Napoleon's coinage from that of his predecessors and to emphasize his unique status as a foreign ruler who had been installed by the French Empire.
