The P#231 series was printed by the American Bank Note Company during a politically volatile stretch of the Duvalier era — Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" had inherited power from his father in 1971 and was attempting to project economic stability that the country's finances did not support. The 2 Gourdes was a workhorse denomination in a monetary system chronically short of hard currency, and ABNC's involvement reflected Haiti's long dependence on U.S.-based security printers stretching back decades.
The gourde itself had been pegged at 5 to the U.S. dollar since 1919, a rate that held with remarkable rigidity well into the 1980s despite profound fiscal pressure.
