Country I Never Thought I Would Get

I just received this coin from Isle de France and Bonaparte. 1810 10 Livres - Napoleon I, also known as the Piastre Decaen.

At the time that I won this at auction about a month ago, it was the only coin listed for this country. I had never seen this coin available anywhere before. When I entered this coin in Numista today, I see that 2 more coins have been added to the country. This will make it much easier (and cheaper) for those of you trying to get one coin from every Numista country.

I am still very happy with my acquisition.

Wow, thank you, I didn't know that.

And congratulations on this coin, it is a solid addition to your collection!

Isles of France & Bonaparte are what is now Mauritius & Reunion - which was very short-lived, as Mauritius was taken over as a British colony in 1810.

Fantastic!! I'd love to have that in my collection!
