Napoleone ImperATORE E RE 1811 Gold Coin

My father has an Italian 40 Lire gold coin dated 1811 with the
words on the front:

"Napoleone ImperATORE E RE 1811 Gold Coin"

Given the history of the coin I believe it is an original and not
a fake. If it is in good condition, what is the likely value?
I saw fakes of this coin on eBay going for next to nothing, but I
could not locate any originals.

It's Italian and it actually says "Gold Coin"?

A genuine 40-lire 1811M gold piece from Italy/Kingdom of Napoleon lists in
Krause at $225 in very fine.

Simon (Friedberg catalogue) says:
XF-$300
UNC-$800
But don't expect to get those prices, especially if it's not slabbed...

How do you know they were fakes ?

No, the coin doesn't "say" gold coin. Can I be descriptive
without you assuming that every description I write is a literal
expression on the object being described?

Thank you for the approximate value.

I know they were fakes because the auctions used words like
"Model of 1814 M...." I assume one would not use the word
"model" in reference to a genuine coin.

In the light of all the bizarre things I've seen being auctioned online in
the past year, I don't take anything for granted anymore.

Thank you for the approximate value.

I am at your service.
