Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Centimes coin from Haiti is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the country. The coin was issued between 1827 and 1834, a period when Haiti was still recovering from the devastating effects of the Haitian Revolution, which had ended just a few decades earlier in 1804. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its silver composition and detailed design.
