Guadeloupe coin 1 1/2 Euro, 2004

Guadeloupe Euro coin

French Guadeloupe 1 1/2 euro 2004, KM XE12 (Unusual World Coins, 5th edition, page 232), a fantasy Essai issue for this area. Proof silver crown, with a French warship on the reverse.

Low mintage of only 2,000 pieces.

Guadeloupe is a department of mainland France, so it has not issued coins in its own name since 1921.
