The 2004 date carries specific weight for Haiti — it marks the bicentennial of independence, declared on January 1, 1804 after the only successful slave revolt in history to produce a sovereign nation. A number of commemorative and circulation issues appeared that year tied directly to the anniversary, and this piece falls within that broader program.
