Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Gourdes - Faustin I (Essai) ND (1854) from Haiti is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin was minted as a trial or pattern piece, and its design differs from the standard 5 Gourdes coin issued during Faustin I's reign. The obverse features a portrait of Faustin I, while the reverse bears the Haitian coat of arms and the denomination. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Haitian currency.
