Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Frank - Jérôme Bonaparte (Lead pattern) 1808 from Kingdom of Westphalia (German States) made of Lead weighing 4.84 g is that it was designed to be a prototype for a new currency system for the Kingdom of Westphalia, which was a short-lived state that existed from 1807 to 1813. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it remains an interesting piece of numismatic history.
