Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Gulden - Louis Napoleon 1808 coin from the Netherlands is that it was minted during the brief period of French rule over the Netherlands, which lasted from 1806 to 1813. The coin features an image of Louis Napoleon, who was the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and served as the King of Holland during this time. Despite being minted during a time of foreign rule, the coin still features the traditional Dutch coat of arms on the reverse side, indicating the country's continued sense of national identity and pride.
