| Reverse description | Host coin, identifiable as a French colonial billon sol (sou), featuring three fleurs-de-lis arranged in a triangular formation within the central field, surmounted by a royal crown. The surrounding legend reads 'LOUIS XVI' and 'ET DE NA' (partial), referencing the French king, consistent with a late 18th-century French colonial issue. The design elements are characteristic of French Antilles coinage of the period. |
