One interesting fact about the 10 Centimes - Louis XVIII 1818 coin from French Guiana is that it was minted during a brief period of French rule in the colony, which was previously under Dutch control. The coin features an image of King Louis XVIII, who reigned from 1814 to 1824, and was likely minted to replace the previously used Dutch currency. This coin is a rare example of a French colonial coin minted outside of mainland France, and its unique history and provenance make it a valuable collector's item.
