Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Gourdes - Faustin I (Essai; large bust) ND (1854) from Haiti is that it features a portrait of Faustin I, who was the first emperor of Haiti, on the obverse side of the coin. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1847 to 1859, and was part of a series of coins that were minted to promote Haiti's economy and national identity. Despite being a pattern coin, it is still considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
