Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gourde coin from Haiti (1881-1895) is that it features a portrait of President Faustin Soulouque, who ruled Haiti from 1847 to 1859. Soulouque was a former slave who rose to power through the military ranks and eventually declared himself emperor, taking the title of "Faustin I." His rule was marked by authoritarianism and attempts to centralize power, and his image on the coin reflects his controversial legacy in Haitian history.
