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 was part of a series of coins minted during this period, which were designed to resemble the French coins that were previously used on the island. However, the British occupation coins featured the British monarch, King George III, on the obverse side, instead of the French monarch. This coin is a rare and unique piece of history that serves as a reminder of the complex and diverse history of Guadeloupe.
