Commentary
En 1803, les corsaires français opérant depuis l’Île de France récupèrent d’importantes quantités de monnaies de la Compagnie des Indes Orientales anglaises (East India Company). En 1810, le gouverneur Decaen autorise la mise en circulation de ces monnaies. La monnaie de 20 Cash vaut alors 3 sous.
