<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1104543, member: 15445&quot;]The next thing you may notice is the year AN13 on the coin.&nbsp; There are two dating systems used on 19th Century Haitian coins.&nbsp; One dating system is the “Christian” dating system and the other is the “Revolutionary” dating system.&nbsp; In 1803 the French were permanently ousted by the Hayti revolution.&nbsp; After 1803 the new republic used a revolutionary dating system where each year after the revolution was AN1, AN2, AN3, etc.&nbsp; Therefore, the depicted coin dated AN 13 would be 1816 using the Christian dating system.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to Kraus, the establishment of Haiti as a republic makes it the oldest black republic in the world and the 2nd oldest republic (next to the United States) in the Western Hemisphere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins from Haiti.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
