Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Franken coin from the Kingdom of Westphalia is that it features an image of Jérôme Bonaparte, the youngest brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, who ruled the kingdom from 1807 to 1813. This coin was minted during his reign and features his portrait on one side, while the other side shows the Westphalian coat of arms. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in European history and the Napoleonic era.
