The 1 Bit ND (1764) coin from Martinique was minted during a time when the island was still a French colony, and it features a unique design that reflects the island's history and culture. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of King Louis XV of France, while the reverse features a sugar cane plant, which was a major crop in Martinique at the time. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
