In the early 19th century, several regions of northern Italy were annexed by Napoleon Bonaparte and the French Empire. The Italian Republic was renamed the Kingdom of Italy with Napoleon serving as the King of Italy for this region. This personal alliance lasted until Napoleon’s downfall in 1814 and resulted in the production of 40 Lire Gold Italian Coins based on the Gold French Francs. Right now, 40 Lire Gold Italian Coins are available to purchase online at Silver.com.

These gold coins were produced throughout the region that made up the annexed Kingdom of Italy and struck by the Milan Mint from 1807 to 1814.

Napoleon and the French Empire annexed several regions around modern-day France in the early 19th century. Among those regions were 13 provinces of Italy. While six of those provinces were ruled directly by the French Empire, seven were controlled as a client state known as the Kingdom of Italy in which Napoleon enjoyed the title King of Italy.

On the obverse of the 40 Lire Gold Italian Coins is a left-profile portrait of Napoleon. The design of these 40 Lire Gold Coins is the same as the French Francs issued in this era, but using the Lira denomination that would later be adopted by Italy as its official currency from 1861 to 2002. Napoleon’s bust is surrounded by Italian inscriptions that identify him as Emperor and King.

The reverse face of 40 Lire Gold Italian Coins features the crowned shield with eagle behind it used by the French Empire. This side of the coin includes the face value. When Napoleon was defeated in Europe by the allied nations and kingdoms led by England, his Kingdom of Italy fell apart and ceased to exist after the Treaty of Paris in 1814.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.
