Italian States - Kingdom of Napoleon

As Napoleon Bonaparte conquered his way through Italy, he set up the Kingdom of Napoleon, with himself as the ruler. Quite a variety of coins were issued from the small copper centimos to the fairly large gold 40 Lire. Some are fairly common and others quite scarce.
Of the coppers, the largest of these are the Soldo, just under the size of a US Half Dollar, these can be fairly difficult to find, particularly in nice condition.
Currently on Beeker1's English Hammered Coins and Napoleonic coins website there is a nice variety of Kingdom of Napoleon 1 Soldos, almost one of each date. Please click here to check these out.
