Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Sous coin from Guadeloupe (Overseas France) made of Silver is that it was minted during the British occupation of the island, which lasted from 1810 to 1814. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during this period, which were designed to resemble the British coinage of the time. The 10 Sous coin was equivalent to one tenth of a French franc and was used as a substitute for the French currency during the occupation.
