Comment
No accent marks on obverse legend.Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes 1953 coin from Haiti is interesting because it was produced during a time of great political instability in the country. Haiti had experienced a period of military rule and political unrest in the early 1950s, and the coin's design reflects this turmoil. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Haiti's national hero, Toussaint Louverture, who led a slave revolt in the late 18th century and is considered a symbol of Haitian independence. The reverse of the coin features a palm tree, which is a common motif in Haitian art and symbolizes peace and prosperity. Despite the political turmoil of the time, the 10 Centimes 1953 coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of Haiti's rich history and culture.
