Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Franken - Jérôme Bonaparte (Tin pattern strike) 1813 from Kingdom of Westphalia (German States) made of Tin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in Europe. The Kingdom of Westphalia was established in 1807 as a client state of Napoleon's France, and Jérôme Bonaparte, Napoleon's youngest brother, was appointed as its king. The coin was minted in 1813, just a year before the downfall of Napoleon's empire and the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from a brief but significant moment in European history.
