25 Centimes Northern Republic of Haiti

The République Septentrionale d'Haïti was not a separate nation but a short-lived political fiction — the northern breakaway administration under Florvil Hyppolite, who controlled the Département du Nord following the civil conflict that ousted Lysius Salomon in 1888. These notes were issued to finance Hyppolite's campaign before he reunified the country by force and assumed the full presidency in October 1889. The Homer Lee Bank Note Company, a New York firm that competed aggressively for Caribbean and Latin American government contracts in the 1880s, handled the printing.

The political window for these notes was narrow — roughly a year — which kept issued quantities low and circulation geographically confined to the northern departments.
