Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern Denaro - Napoleon 1803 from Napoleonic Republic of Italy (Italian States) made of Copper weighing 1.61g is that it features a unique design that was not used in any other coin. The obverse side of the coin depicts a left-facing portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte, while the reverse side features an eagle with outstretched wings and a shield with the initials "N" and "I" (for Napoleonic Republic of Italy) surrounded by a wreath. This design was not used in any other coin, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
