Interesting fact

The 1 Rijksdaalder coin from the Netherlands, minted during the reign of Louis Napoleon (1806-1808), features an interesting design element - the portrait of Louis Napoleon himself. This coin was minted during a brief period when the Netherlands was under French rule, and the design of the coin reflects this historical context. The portrait of Louis Napoleon on the coin is a notable departure from the traditional designs featured on Dutch coins, which typically depicted the Dutch lion or other national symbols. Instead, the coin features a portrait of the French emperor, highlighting the influence of French rule on Dutch currency during this period. This fact makes the coin an interesting piece of numismatic history and a unique collector's item.
