Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 22 Livres coin from Martinique is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in France. The coin was issued during the Napoleonic Wars, which lasted from 1803 to 1815, and was part of an effort to stabilize the French economy during this period. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was made with high-quality gold and has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
