Believed to be counterfeits of KM#18Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes 25 coin from Haiti was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Baptiste Mercier. Mercier was a prominent artist of his time and is known for his work on various coins and medals, including the Haitian coinage. The coin features a portrait of Haiti's first emperor, Faustin Soulouque, on the obverse, and a depiction of a sugar cane plant on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1828 and was used as a standard circulation coin in Haiti during that time.
