| 正面描述 | The obverse is framed by a rectangular guilloche border with numeral 1 counters at left and right within ornate cartouches. The Haitian National Coat of Arms occupies the central vignette, surmounted by the heading REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI and the national motto LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE, with SERIE A and a serial number flanking the design. The central letterpress text BON DU TRESOR / UNE GOURDE dominates the lower portion, followed by an issuance clause referencing the arrêté of 22 January 1915 and the law of 27 December 1914, with printed signature lines for LE DELEGUE DES FINANCES and LE DELEGUE DU TRESOR. |

Haiti's 1915 was a year of violent political collapse — six presidents in four years had ended with Vilbrun Guillaume Sam's assassination in July, and U.S. Marines landing within days. The Trésor Public issued this 1 Gourde bond under a government that effectively ceased to function as a sovereign authority within months of its printing. Whether this was issued before or after the July crisis places it in dramatically different political circumstances, and the record is not clean on that point.
Treasury bonds at this denomination were circulating substitutes, not investment instruments — the 1 Gourde face value put them in everyday transactional use at a moment when public confidence in any Haitian paper instrument was near its floor.
