6 Livres 15 Sous

Saint Lucia in 1813 was under British administration — captured from France definitively in 1814, though effectively British-controlled since 1803 — yet still operating a French-currency accounting system for local transactions. This coin is a product of that administrative awkwardness: a British colonial authority issuing denominations expressed in livres and sous, a French monetary framework that the island's population simply refused to abandon. The two varieties under KM#10 reflect die differences introduced during the same production run, not separate issue years.

Cut and counterstamped from Spanish colonial eight-reale pieces, the host coins were Spanish-American silver redirected through Caribbean monetary improvisation.
