Commentary
13.450 pièces ont été frappées à Cassel en 1808. Celles qui sont en "frappe médaille" auraient été fabriquées à Cassel et ont l'orientation des coins à 12 heures comme c'est le cas de cette 20 Franken. Celles qui sont en "frappe monnaie" auraient été frappées à Paris et elles ont alors l'orientation des coins à 6 heures.
