Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Denari - Napoleon Bonaparte (Pattern) 1803 from Napoleonic Republic of Italy (Italian States) made of Tin weighing 4.51g is that it features a unique design that was not used in any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a left-facing portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte, while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings and a shield with the initials "N.B." (for Napoleon Bonaparte) surrounded by a wreath. This design was only used in this specific pattern coin and not in any other coins issued by the Napoleonic Republic of Italy.
