Commentary

Ce type n’est frappé qu'en 1809 et 1810, mais largement refondu après la chute de l'Empire quand Guillaume Ier devient roi des Pays-Bas en 1814. Le chiffre de fabrication comprend les deux millésimes.
This type was only struck in 1809 and 1810, but was largely recast after the fall of the Empire when William I became King of the Netherlands in 1814. The production number includes both years.
