This collector's item is distinguished by an exceptional element: a dial crafted from imperial green granite. A noble and deeply symbolic material, it echoes the base on which Napoleon's tomb rests at Les Invalides, a place of memory and grandeur.

At its heart, the imperial "N," taken from the Emperor's coat of arms and inspired by one of his thrones, rises solemnly. It also recalls its place at the center of the collar of the Legion of Honor—as a seal of authority, prestige, and heritage.

The crown depicted on this coin pays homage to Napoleon's imperial crown, created especially for his coronation on December 2, 1804. A symbol of authority and legitimacy, it embodies the moment when the man became a legendary figure, wearing the crown himself to affirm that his power comes only from himself.

A symbol borrowed from the Roman emperors, the laurel, engraved on the side of the case, was chosen by Napoleon as his crown during his imperial coronation. An honorary distinction par excellence, it has embodied victory and grandeur since Antiquity. Worn on his forehead on the day of his elevation, the laurel became for Napoleon an assumed heritage, a link between the centuries and a reminder that each triumph
is part of the continuity of a History in progress.

"To live defeated and without glory is to die every day." This famous quote from Napoleon Bonaparte powerfully embodies the spirit of a man for whom existence found meaning only in conquest, determination, and the refusal to resign. A thought that transcends time, like his legacy.

On May 5, 1821, at the age of 51, Napoleon Bonaparte died in exile on the island of Saint Helena, following his second abdication. Far from the battlefields and the imperial court, he lived out his extraordinary destiny in isolation—that of a man whose legend continues to endure for centuries. This date is engraved at the top of the dial.

The hand of justice, depicted on the hour hand, is one of the major emblems of the imperial coat of arms. Used during Napoleon's coronation, it embodies judicial power and serves as a reminder that all true authority is exercised within the framework of law and fairness. A meaningful detail, inscribed in the heart of time.

Represented on the minute hand, the bee—an emblematic figure taken from the imperial coat of arms—was chosen by Napoleon to anchor his dynasty in the history of France. A powerful symbol of immortality and resurrection, it reflects the Emperor's desire to connect his reign to the deep roots of the nation, inscribing his power in the continuity of a thousand-year-old heritage.

The seconds hand takes the form of a fleur-de-lis, symbol of the monarchy
French. Napoleon, a fierce opponent of the divine right monarchical order, rejected
the idea of ​​power inherited by birth.
