NEVIS: AE black dog, ND (1801), KM-1, Prid-5, Lec-59, NEVIS countermarked on French Cayenne 2 sous of Louis XVI, PCGS graded VF35. A 'black dog' was a coin used in the Caribbean made of pewter or copper, typically worth 11/2 pence or 1/72 of a dollar. The name comes from the negative connotations of the word "dog", as they came from debased silver coins, and the dark color of those same debased coins. Black dogs were also at times called "stampes" or "stampees", as they were typically the coins of other colonial powersFrench coins worth 2 sous or, equivalently, 24 deniersstamped to make them British currency.
