Comment
Countermark on Spanish Colonial 2 RealesInteresting fact
The 18 Stivers ND (1821) coin from Saint Barthelemy (Overseas France) is interesting because it was minted during a brief period of independence for the island. Saint Barthelemy was a French colony from 1674 until 1810, when it was captured by the British. In 1815, it was returned to France, but it wasn't until 1821 that the island was able to mint its own coins. The 18 Stivers ND (1821) coin was one of the first coins minted during this period of independence, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
