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. The coin features the British monarch, King George III, on one side and the French Revolutionary motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" on the other, reflecting the complex history of the island during this period.
