Commentary
Cette monnaie est absente du FRANC et elle n'apparaît pas dans les registres de fabrication de la Monnaie de Paris. C'est en fait une pièce destinée à l'usage local et au commerce rhénan où elle était évaluée à 1,5 kreutzer. Elle est frappée avec les caractéristiques des monnaies du nouveau royaume westphalien de Jérôme Napoléon (1807-1813). Nous sommes bien en présence d'une espèce destinée à la circulation dans l'aire germanique car elle est en frappe médaille avec une orientation des coins à 12 heures.

It is struck with the characteristics of the coins of the new Westphalian kingdom of Jérôme Napoléon (1807-1813). We are indeed in the presence of a species intended for circulation in the Germanic area because it is in medal strike with a die orientation at 12 o'clock
