Interesting fact

The 9 Stivers coin from Saint Barthelemy (Overseas France) was minted in 1808 and made of silver, weighing 3.86 grams. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time when the island was under French rule, and it features the French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" on its reverse side. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
