100 Gourdes / Goud
Haiti · Banque de la République d'Haïti
The 2023 issue of the 100 Gourdes is a bilingual commemorative note issued by the Banque de la République d'Haïti. Henri Christophe (1767-1820) was a key general in the Haitian Revolution and later proclaimed King Henri I of the State of Haiti, and his portrait reflects the note's focus on the revolutionary period. The Citadelle Laferrière — a UNESCO World Heritage site built under Christophe's orders to defend the newly independent nation against French reconquest — dominates the reverse, linking the monetary design directly to Haiti's post-independence fortification legacy.
