Interesting fact
The 1 Centime 1846 coin from Haiti is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of Haiti's first emperor, Faustin Soulouque, on the obverse side. Soulouque was a former slave who rose to power through the military and became emperor in 1849, ruling until his abdication in 1859. The coin was minted during his reign and is a rare example of a coin featuring a black leader, making it a valuable piece for collectors of numismatics and historians interested in the history of Haiti and the African diaspora.
