Interesting fact
The 100 Gourdes (Youth) 1981 coin from Haiti features a unique design that represents the country's rich cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of a young Haitian woman, surrounded by traditional Haitian symbols and motifs, such as the papaya tree, the national flower, and the Haitian flag. The reverse side of the coin features an image of a young man playing a traditional Haitian musical instrument, the "rasin" (a type of percussion instrument made from a hollowed-out gourd), surrounded by a pattern of interlocking Vodou symbols. This coin is a beautiful representation of Haiti's vibrant culture and history.
