2021 Djibouti 250 Francs 5-oz Silver Napoleon Shaped Proof-Like Coin

Come Face-to-Face With Napoleon’s Bicentennial

One of the most famous images ever to capture the depth of Napoleon Bonaparte’s indomitable personality is Jacques-Louis David’s famous 1801 painting entitled Napoleon Crossing the Alps. The work was inspired by Napoleon’s victory at the Battle of Marengo in 1800 during which Napoleon’s forces marched across the Alps and took the Austrian army stationed in northern Italy completely by surprise. The victory bolstered Napoleon’s status in European politics and consolidated his political position in Paris as First Consul of France in the wake of his coup d’état the previous November. Now, on the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s passing, the French-speaking nation of Djibouti has used that portrait as inspiration for this extraordinary shaped coin.

A Stunning Depiction of Napoleon Bonaparte

Measuring 72 mm x 62 mm x 4.8 mm, this incredible coin was struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. It depicts a close-up of Napoleon wearing his iconic Bicorne hat just as if he had stepped off the canvas of Jacques-Louis David’s unforgettable painting. The coin’s obverse is equally significant as it features a pattern of bees, Napoleon’s royal emblem, along with one of his most famous quotes that speaks to the glory of victory. His birth years, 1769 & 1821, are also featured along with the Republic of Djibouti Coat of Arms. The coin’s 250 Francs denomination is nestled beneath the Coat of Arms.

Extremely Low Mintage for this Proof-Like Commemorative

Not only does this spectacular coin feature a dynamic bicentennial image, but it comes in stunning Proof-Like (PL) condition. A Proof-Like grade means that though this coin wasn’t struck as a proof, its brilliant and reflective finish has earned it a “Proof-Like” designation. In addition, each coin will come beautifully housed in an authentic wooden treasure box that has been engraved with the imperial insignia of Napoléon Bonaparte!
