Haiti
Northern Haiti. Henri Christophe silver Proof Pattern Crown (2 Gourdes) 1820 H-LM PR61 NGC, Birmingham mint, KM-Pn37, Fonrobert-7502, Guttag-2088E, Arroyo-HA#P127. Plain edge. Issued under Henri I as King of North Haiti. An extremely rare pattern issue, featuring the only monarch of the Kingdom of Haiti. Despite its technical certification, the eye appeal of this offering far transcends what one would expect from a PR61; razor-sharp with pristine clear fields, the planchet toned to an immensely attractive slate-gray, only the lightest touch of contact to the high points. A seldom offered rarity of the Haitian numismatic series. Sold with old Louis H. Collins dealer tag.
