Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Francs - Napoleon I (Hundred Days) 1815 coin from France is that it was minted during a brief period of Napoleon's return to power, known as the Hundred Days, which lasted from March 20 to July 8, 1815. This coin was minted in an attempt to stabilize the French economy and promote Napoleon's image as a powerful leader, but it was ultimately withdrawn from circulation after Napoleon's final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
