This tiny coin was struck at Paris, France, under the régime of the emperor Napoleon. It is the commonest date of a short-lived type (1806-07) that remains very scarce today. 1806 marks the return to AD dating after a ten year experiment of using the revolutionary calendar (AN 4-14) which set 1789 as year 1.
The quarter-francs of Napoleon ran thru a number of types, none of which are common (catalog numbers taken from Le Franc 10):
- F.157: Bonaparte Premier Consul (AN 12 only, 323,000 struck for the type)
- F.158: Napoleon Emperor, revolutionary calendar (AN 12-14, 519,000 struck for the type)
- F.159: Napoleon Emperor, Gregorian calendar (1806-07, this type, 112,000 struck)
- F.160: Napoleon Emperor, "Negro head" (1807A only, 41,000 struck)
- F.161: Napoleon Emperor, laureate head, "République Française" on reverse (1807-08, 23,000 struck for the type)
- F.162: Napoleon Emperor, laureate head, "Empire Français" on reverse (1809A only, 34,000 struck for the type)
Recorded mintage: 31,207[1], 31,000[2].
Specification: 1.25 g, 0.900 fine silver, 15 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: F.159/1, KM 670.1.
