Haiti
General Florvil Hippolyte Counterstamped Insurrection Gourde ND (c. 1889) MS64 Brown PCGS, cf. KM51 (see note to uniface Gourde), Guttag-Unl., Arroyo-HA#P82. With the counterstamp B. P. 1G / GL. H in two lines, for Bon Pour 1 Gourde, General Hippolyte, struck on an 1881 2 Centimes (cf. KM43). An extremely rare host for this already fleeting insurrectionary type, struck by the future President of Haiti who overthrew President Legitime in 1889. Existing at a level usually unknown for the more often-found uniface Gourdes, Arroyo knew of only one example, in the Medina Collection, with the Standard Catalog of World Coins adding that two reportedly exist in the Rudman Collection.
Ex. Irving Goodman Collection (Superior June 1996, Lot 496); Virgil Brand Collection
