| Obverse description | The obverse carries portrait vignettes of Emperor Jacques I (Jean-Jacques Dessalines, 1758–1806) and President Pierre Nord Alexis (1820–1910), flanking the National Coat of Arms of Haiti, all set within an elaborate engraved border typical of American Bank Note Company workmanship. The composition commemorates the centennial of Haitian independence, with the two figures representing the revolutionary founding era and the contemporary presidency. Guilloche underprint patterns and fine-line engraving fill the surrounding field. |
