Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Franken - Jérôme Bonaparte (Restrike) 1808 from Kingdom of Westphalia (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 6.45 g is that it was minted during the brief reign of Jérôme Bonaparte, who was the youngest brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and ruled the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813. This coin is a rare example of a restrike, meaning it was minted at a later date than the original issue, and it features an image of Jérôme Bonaparte on one side and the Westphalian coat of arms on the other.
