Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Sous coin from Guadeloupe (Overseas France) 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 use of silver in the coin's composition also adds to its value and historical significance.
