| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in brown intaglio on a fine guilloche background, centred on the Haitian national coat of arms — a palm tree flanked by cannons and cannonballs on a green hill, with a royal palm, rifles, and a Phrygian cap above a scroll reading "L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE". The bank title "BANQUE NATIONALE DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE D'HAÏTI" arcs around the upper border within an ornate frame, and the denomination "UNE GOURDE" appears in a panel at the bottom. The printer's imprint "THOMAS DE LA RUE & COMPANY, LIMITED" is present in the lower margin. |

By 1968, Haiti's monetary system had been under severe strain for years — the Duvalier government's fiscal mismanagement and near-total exclusion from international credit lines had made even small-denomination printing contracts a logistical challenge. Thomas De La Rue's involvement speaks to the continued outsourcing of Haitian note production to London, a dependency that stretched back decades through multiple issuing authorities.
The 1 Gourde sits at the bottom of the series, a denomination that saw heavy everyday use and consequently survives most often in worn condition. Clean examples from this issue are genuinely harder to find than the higher denominations.
