| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing laureate and draped bust of Louis XVI occupying the center of the field, engraved in the neoclassical style by Pierre-Benjamin Duvivier, whose name appears in small letters below the truncation. A rectangular crowned countermark bearing the initials 'G' — applied during the British occupation of Guadeloupe in 1811 — is prominently stamped over the king's portrait. The circular legend reads LUD•XVI•D•G•FR.ET•NAV•REX, identifying Louis XVI as King of France and Navarre by the grace of God. The rim is decorated with a fine toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
British forces occupied Guadeloupe from 1810 to 1816, and the coinage struck under that administration reflects the improvised nature of colonial monetary supply during the Napoleonic Wars. This 20 Sous piece was produced by cutting and counterstamping Spanish colonial silver — a practical solution to chronic coin shortages rather than any planned monetary policy.
The specific KM#31 type is distinguished from related occupation issues by its counterstamp placement and host coin specifications, details that matter considerably when attributing worn examples.
