Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes coin from Haiti, issued in 1818, was made of silver and weighed 2.3 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin was issued during a time when Haiti was still a young nation, having gained independence from France just a few decades earlier in 1804. The coin's design likely reflects the country's struggle for independence and its desire to establish itself as a sovereign nation.
