Haiti's P#1 is among the earliest paper currency issues from any independent nation in the Western Hemisphere. The Trésorerie Générale issued it in 1827, two decades after independence, during the presidency of Jean-Pierre Boyer — a period of acute fiscal strain compounded by the indemnity payments France had extracted in 1825 as the price of diplomatic recognition. Haiti was committed to paying 150 million francs to compensate former French colonists, a debt that crippled public finances for generations and almost certainly forced Boyer's hand in issuing paper.
Surviving examples are extraordinarily rare. Whether many ever circulated meaningfully is an open question.
