| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bare, truncated bust of President Jean-Pierre Boyer faces left in neoclassical portrait style, with naturalistically rendered curled hair. The legend J*P* BOYER PRESIDENT* arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by small five-pointed stars, while AN 25, denoting the 25th year of Haitian independence (1828), appears in the lower exergual area. An engraver's signature is faintly visible below the bust truncation. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Haiti's early republican coinage was chronically underfunded and inconsistently produced, with the state mint at Port-au-Prince struggling to maintain reliable metal supplies throughout the 1820s. The copper issues of this period often drew from whatever stock was available, which accounts for the compositional variants catalogued under KM#20 and its subtype designations.
By 1828, President Boyer had held power for nearly a decade, but the country was financially strained by the 1825 indemnity agreement with France — 150 million francs demanded in exchange for diplomatic recognition — a debt that would cripple Haitian public finances for generations.
