Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the British occupation of Guadeloupe, which lasted from 1810 to 1814. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during this brief period of British rule, and its design and composition reflect the influence of British coinage on the island during that time.
