Is that lady lib? No, this is a French coin - I would assume that it is the depiction of one of the local island native leaders. - Something I may have to look up now.. |

ok according to Numista - it is: Quote:
Bust of an Arawak man with feathers on his headband, facing left https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4544.htmland from Wikipedia: Quote:
The Arawak are a group of Indigenous peoples of northern South America and of the Caribbean. Specifically, the term "Arawak" has been applied at various times from the Lokono of South America to the Taíno, who lived in the Greater Antilles and northern Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean. All these groups spoke related Arawakan languages. and something I did not know, and just learned: Quote:
Early Spanish explorers and administrators used the terms Arawak and Caribs to distinguish the peoples of the Caribbean, with Carib reserved for indigenous groups that they considered hostile and Arawak for groups that they considered friendly. |

Thank you all.
Aha I thought it resembled the crown on lady lib:) not a pretty version.
Very interesting, I had no idea about the tribes of the Caribs and their sad fate.
There are aprox 9-13000 Arawaks left today most resident in Guyana.
