<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 25326954, member: 43872"]This may not quite fit the original criteria because there were a number of coins issued between 1808 and 1812. The Kingdom of Westphalia was set up by Napoleon for his youngest brother, Jerome (Hieronymus in German) Napoleon to have a kingdom. It was not geographically the same as the German state of Westphalia, and could have been more accurately called Eastphalia. It was dissolved when Napoleon was defeated. Note the heavy die-clash on this one, so that CENT. shows clearly on the obverse. There is also on the obverse a distinct, although distorted, of what appears to be the privy mark from the reverse, but I can't figure how it could have got there. It is not incus, so not a die clash. (A footnote: Jerome's American grandson served under Theodore Roosevelt as Attorney General and founded what would become the FBI) </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1619132[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1619133[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
