Escalin Público Deposited
A silver coin issued for Santo-Domingo and Guadeloupe. The type for the former province was struck by order of General Leclerc about 1801. The pieces for Guadeloupe issued during the English occupation of 1810 and 1813 are countermarked with a letter G crowned, and those under French rule have the initials R. F. for Republique Francaise. See Zay, Histoire monetaire des colonies franchises. 1892. (pp. 227, 230). The Excalinof Curacao was computed at three Sous.
