| Reverse description | The central design is dominated by a large circular vignette of the Haitian national coat of arms — a palm tree flanked by cannons, flags, and military trophies above a drum, with the motto L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE on a ribbon below — set within an elaborate engine-turned guilloche border. The arc inscription BANQUE DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE D'HAÏTI surrounds the upper portion of the central medallion, with a dense payability legend filling the inner ring. The denomination UNE GOURDE appears in a bold panel at the base, and the entire composition is enclosed within an intricate guilloche underprint with ornamental side cartouches bearing the monogram "G". |
