Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Haiti. The Western Republic was established in 1804, and this coin was minted during the period of 1813-1816, which was a time of transition and struggle for the young nation. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to Haiti's resilience and determination to establish a stable and independent government.
