    I finally got a Napoleonic issue from the Rome mint - 1813 gold 20 Francs :)

    I am sure that there should be more than one baby suckling from the wolf in the mint mark though ;)

    I am sure Napoleon thought : "They mint coins in Rome with my laureate head on obverse and the Wolf and Twins on the reverse, I am a REAL emperor now!"
