| Obverse description | Central relief depicting a group of Haitian revolutionary soldiers, the Heroes of Vertieres, shown in a dynamic battle scene atop rocky ground. The figures are rendered in high relief, with one soldier at left raising a rifle and others in various poses of combat and solidarity. The curved legend 'REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'HEROS DE VERTIÈRES' is inscribed along the lower field. The design is executed in a bold sculptural style commemorating the decisive 1803 battle that secured Haitian independence. |
