Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2½ Gulden - Louis Napoleon (Pattern) ND (1808) from Netherlands made of Gold (.900) weighing 35 g is that it was designed by the Dutch mint to commemorate the coronation of Louis Napoleon as King of the Netherlands in 1808. The coin features an image of Louis Napoleon on the obverse and a crowned shield with the Netherlands coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
