Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Crown - Henri Christophe (Essai) 1820 from Haiti is a rare and unique coin that was minted during the reign of King Henri Christophe, who ruled Haiti from 1807 to 1820. The coin was minted in 1820 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of King Henri Christophe on one side, and an image of a palm tree and the coat of arms of Haiti on the other side. The coin is made of silver and weighs 38 grams, making it a substantial piece. The coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance, and it is considered a valuable addition to any collection of Haitian coins or numismatic items.
