Comment
Side cut segment of 8 RealesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Livres 5 Sous ND (1813) coin from Saint Lucia is that it was minted during the brief period of French rule over the island, which lasted from 1810 to 1814. The coin features the image of Napoleon Bonaparte on one side and the coat of arms of Saint Lucia on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted during this time period.
