Stamped upon Crowned C Stampee and Cayenne Colonie 2 sous.Interesting fact
The 1 Black Dog ND (1801) coin from Nevis (Saint Kitts and Nevis) made of Billon is interesting because it is one of the few coins in the world that features a black dog as its main design element. The use of a black dog on the coin may have been a symbol of good luck or a nod to the island's rich history of dog breeding and trading. Additionally, the fact that it was made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, adds to its unique character and historical significance.
