20 Sous British occupation

正面描述	Rectangular incuse countermark applied to the host coin's field, depicting a crowned capital letter 'G' — the initial for Guadeloupe — surmounted by a heraldic crown within a recessed rectangular punch. A small five-pointed star appears above the countermark punch at the top of the field. The countermark was applied by British colonial authorities during their occupation of Guadeloupe in 1811 to validate French 12 Sols pieces (C#44) for continued local circulation.

附加信息	Struck under British occupation of Guadeloupe, which lasted from 1810 until the island's return to France under the Treaty of Paris in 1814. The British administrator authorized local coinage to address a chronic shortage of small silver in circulation — a problem that had plagued the island since the Revolutionary period disrupted normal supply from metropolitan France. KM#16 is a cut and countermarked issue, produced by applying a crowned "G" stamp to Spanish colonial reales cut to approximate the correct weight. The crude nature of production is intentional, not a strike deficiency.
