Commentary

La grande distribution de l’époque utilisait parfois des copies de monnaies ou de billets pour sa publicité. Copier un napoléon, le plus souvent au type du génie, se retrouve à plusieurs reprises.
The mass retailers of the time sometimes used copies of coins or banknotes for their advertising. Copying a Napoleon, most often in the Genie type, is found on several occasions.
