Republic Henri Christophe copper Pattern Centime 1807 SP62 Brown PCGS, Minted in England, KMPn1. A quite attractive example of this very rare pattern depicting Henri Christophe in full military uniform. Commissioned in England per Lissade's recent research, as were the patterns of finer style dated 1808, thus probably produced at the Birmingham mint. The obverse legend UNE CENTIEME (de Gourde) or ONE HUNDREDTH (of a Gourde) is an unusual alternative spelling of the more common UN CENTIME instead of an error as often stated. Very rare in any preservation, and highly desirable so finely presented.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
