Il Forrer (1902-30, I, pp. 275-276) riporta: Brenet did some very fine work as a Coin-engraver. His head of Napoleon I. was adopted after the coronation lor the French silver currency. The first 5 Franc pieces of this new type were issued in the year XIII of the Republic (23rd Sept. 1804 – 22nd Sept. 1805); they bear NAPOLEON EMPEREUR on obv. and REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE on R/.; the signature of the artist BRENET appears on the truncation, whilst beneath is Tiolier's monogram. The same head is found on the coins of year XIV, 1806 and 1807. In 1807, Brenet somewhat altered the type, and a new issue came out at the end of the year with a laureated head of Napoleon, which was preserved until 1815. The legend of the R/. was altered in 1809 to EMPIRE FRAN£AIS. At the Mint, Brenet worked under the supervision of Tiolier, who engraved the first coins of the Empire. A large number of patterns and trial pieces by Brenet of the years XI, XII and XIII of the Republic are still in existence.
