I've been looking for a nice example of one of these for several years and finally had the opportunity to buy one last week in a NGC AU-58 grade.
The coin has a superb lustre, strong strike on the devices and almost prooflike fields therefore unfortunately
all markings in the fields are very pronounced and noticeable .. but overall I'm very pleased because the eye appeal in hand is A-1 !!!!
.... by the way the Napoleon depicted on the coin is Lodewijk (Louis) Napoleon, brother of the famous Napoleon Bonaparte. This coin was issued under French control of the United Netherlands by Louis Napoleon, Brother of Napoleon Bonaparte (1806-1810). As King, Louis placed his subjects’ welfare ahead of his bother’s request. Because of this Napoleon deposed Louis in 1810and annexed the Netherlands into the French Empire!
This design type was minted for only 2 years (1808 & 1809) with a combined mintage of 282,870. A rare issue in this grade.
