| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large, unadorned bare bust of Alexandre Pétion in left-facing profile, rendered with flowing wavy hair and a plain truncation at the neck. The bust occupies the majority of the field and is notably prominent relative to the coin's diameter, consistent with the 'large bust' variety designation. The circular legend A. PETION PRESIDENT arcs across the upper field, while AN 14, denoting Year 14 of the Haitian Republic (1817), appears in the lower exergual area. The overall style reflects a neoclassical influence typical of early nineteenth-century Caribbean republican coinage. |
