Napoleon Bonaparte may be the most famous Frenchman to commonfolk, but it is his namesake nephew, Napoleon III, who is responsible for creating Paris as we know it. After establishing the Second Empire in 1852, the new Emperor made it a priority to modernize Paris. At the Emperor’s command, Baron Haussmann utterly transformed Paris into a brighter, cleaner, healthier city. The famous architect then established rules for the visual style of Paris. All buildings had to be of uniform height, style, and color.  This bronze 5 centimes coin was issued by the French Second Empire and features the portrait of Napoleon III, with the reverse depicting an eagle. The box set is accompanied with a profound story card and a Certificate of Authenticity. Add this coin from a monumental turning point in Paris' history to your collection today!

Highlights:

  • Bronze 5 centimes
  • From a historical turning point
  • Comes with Certificate of Authenticity
