Haiti, 6 centimes, AN 10 (1813), rare, encapsulated PCGS XF40. KM-10. Tiny silver coin, the only year of this "snake type," rarely encountered in any grade, this specimen nicely toned with traces of muted luster. Less than six are known of this earliest type; after the sale of Ray Byrne's collection in 1975, perhaps only four examples in any grade have been offered. The catalog for the Lissner collection sale put it this way: "National Museum of Haiti may not possess one & British Museum has only Fine grade." The "snake" design is very interesting and is usually found in Santo Domingo and the Caribbean as a form of nose- or ear-ring made in gold.
