200 Gourdes Haitian Senate

Haiti's Senate has been functionally suspended, reconstituted, and bypassed so many times since the 2004 ouster of Aristide that a commemorative coin honoring the institution carries a certain irony. By 2006 — the year of René Préval's return to the presidency — the Senate was being rebuilt almost from scratch following years of political paralysis and institutional collapse.

The specification mirrors the standard 28.28g/.925 silver module used widely by issuing programs targeting the collector market, suggesting this was produced for numismatic sale rather than circulation. Haiti's actual circulating coinage of the period was base metal only.
