Northern Haiti. Henri Christophe silver Pattern 25 Centimes L'An 11 (1814) VF Details (Scratches) NGC, KM-Unl., Fonrobert-Unl., Ulex-2307 (mislabeled on the holder as Ulex-2807), cf. Guttag-2016C (in white metal), Arroyo-HA#P105 (same). 3.44gm. Perhaps of even greater rarity than the highly prized pattern crowns of Henri as King of North Haiti, this type apparently coming to auction perhaps just twice in the last 50 to 100 years--once in the aforementioned Georg F. Ulex collection sold by Adolph Hess in 1908, and in a 1960 Spink sale. Displaying even wear and strong details, as such its appearance here is sure to spark fierce bidding among connoisseurs of the Haitian and West Indies series.
