| Aanvullende informatie |
Joachim Murat issued this coin while simultaneously negotiating with the Austrians and British in a desperate attempt to preserve his Neapolitan throne as Napoleon's empire collapsed around him. The irony is thick: a French marshal minting gold coinage bearing his own royal portrait while secretly betraying his brother-in-law. His gamble failed. Austrian troops entered Naples in May 1815, and Murat was captured and shot by firing squad in October of that year at Pizzo, Calabria.
The 1813 date places this piece in the final full year of uninterrupted Murat rule before the political maneuvering consumed everything.
