NETHERLANDS. Kingdom of Napoleon. 50 Stuivers, 1808. Louis Napoleon (1806-10). NGC MS-64.
KM-28. A splendid example of this large silver crown, with screaming luster and bold details. From the brief four year French annexation period before things began to go decidedly bad for Napoleon and his puppet rulers. Louis Napoleon (Bonaparte's younger brother) was placed on the thrown of Holland on June 5 of 1806 and earned some respect from his subjects for his efforts to learn Dutch, though at first he stumbled. At one point, he allegedly declared himself "Konijn van 'Olland" (Rabbit of Holland) rather than "Koning van Holland (King of Holland). NGC MS-64.
Estimate: $1200.00- $1600.00
