The 22 Livres coin from Martinique (Overseas France) made of Gold is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Napoleonic era, specifically between 1802 and 1809, and features an image of Napoleon Bonaparte on one side and the French national emblem on the other. This coin is a significant piece of numismatic history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Martinique.
