Haiti's central bank had been issuing gourdes since the late nineteenth century, but by the 1960s the institution was operating under the long shadow of the Duvalier government, which controlled note issuance as tightly as it controlled everything else. Thomas De La Rue's involvement here is unsurprising — the London firm held a dominant position across francophone Caribbean and African issuers throughout this period, often supplying complete plate-to-delivery production runs.
The P#195 series runs from 1964 through the late 1960s. Examples from the 1967 dating are somewhat less common than the earlier issues in the run, though the series as a whole circulated heavily and survivors in upper grades are genuinely scarce.
