The Banque Nationale d'Haïti was not a Haitian institution in any meaningful sense — it was a concession, controlled by French banking interests under a contract that gave the French shareholders a monopoly on note issue in exchange for managing Haiti's public debt. The 1875 piastre notes emerged from that arrangement, printed by ABNC in New York for a bank whose real power resided in Paris.
The piastre was already a dying unit by this point, soon displaced as Haiti realigned its currency to the gourde. Low-denomination notes from this issuer saw hard use and survive in quantity only at the lower end of the grade scale.
