My understanding is that the name "Napoleon" specifically refers to the 20-franc coin. Sometimes I have read of the 40-franc as a "Double-Napoleon". I have never heard the 5, 10, 50, nor 100-franc coins referred to as Napoleons. I have seen references to 20-franc coins issued in the reign of Louis XVIII as "Louis d'Or" - but that is clearly wrong.
