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 1807 to 1813. Jérôme's rule was marked by his attempts to modernize the kingdom and promote the arts, sciences, and education. Despite his efforts, the kingdom was short-lived and was eventually absorbed into the German Confederation. The coin serves as a reminder of this brief but significant moment in history.
