Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Centimes 24-30 coin from Haiti is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the country. The coin was issued between 1827 and 1833, a period when Haiti was still recovering from the devastating effects of the Haitian Revolution, which had ended just a few decades prior. Despite the challenges faced by the country during this time, the coin's production was a testament to Haiti's resilience and determination to establish a stable economy and monetary system.
