I think we are onto something that this is something from the Carribbean. The numbers are very much in the 18th and 19th century style.. look at the downward sloping 7s.
I don't think it's African as such text would be chiseled in in a different method . Also there would be some native metal working techniques visible and some native artistry. Here it is not.
I think it is indeed something peculiar from the Carribbean islands. Maybe Haiti maybe not.
