Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Lira - Napoleon (Essai) 1806 from Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 5g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The obverse of the coin bears a portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte, while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings and a shield bearing the letter "N" (for Napoleon). This design was only used on a small number of pattern coins, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
