Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was the Premier Consul of France at the time, and would later go on to become Emperor of France. The coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in France, as the country was transitioning from a monarchy to a republic, and Napoleon was a key figure in this process. The coin's design reflects this historical context, with the image of Napoleon on one side and the French Republic's emblem on the other.
