Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the brief reign of Jérôme Bonaparte, the youngest brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, who ruled the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1808 to 1813. Despite being a relatively short period, Jérôme's rule had a significant impact on the kingdom's economy and coinage, as he introduced a number of reforms and changes to the currency. This coin, with its high gold content and unique design, is a rare and valuable example of the coinage from that period.
