Pres. Duvalier presided over a reign of terror leading to over 30,000 deaths, but apparently contributed to &quot;unusual&quot; stability of the Haitian government.</p><p>Although he died in 1971, he had declared himself &quot;president for life&quot; in 1964, and is thus referred to in the vignette caption.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]825813[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse features the Haitian coat of arms. The text on the bottom indicates that the note is legal tender due to an act of 1919; in addition, the note is payable in United States legal tender currency with an exchange rate of 5 gourdes to the dollar, provided one presents the Haitian note at the Bank of Port-Au-Prince.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]825814[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
