These issues span the Empire at its territorial peak and into its collapse — 1812 saw production continue even as the Grande Armée was disintegrating in Russia. The An XIII reform that standardized the franc germinal underpinned this denomination, fixing gold content precisely to align with the metric system's decimal logic, a deliberate act of Napoleonic rationalism applied to coinage.
Dies were produced centrally in Paris and distributed to branch mints at Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, and others, meaning the same type carries multiple mint marks across the run. The Turin and Rome mints struck these as well — briefly, during French occupation of northern Italy.
