| Obverse description | The face is dominated by a central oval vignette of the Haitian National Coat of Arms — a palm tree surmounted by a Phrygian cap and flanked by cannons — enclosed within an elaborate scrollwork border. The denomination CINQ GOURDES appears in bold letterpress in the body text and in vertical panels at each side, with the numeral $5 at lower left. The upper right carries the warning inscription LA LOI PUNIT DE MORT LA CONTREFAÇON, while the main text cites the guaranty of the Trésor public under the law of 16 April 1827, with a space reserved for the Trésorier Général's signature. |
