The 1967 Haiti Gold Proof '10th Anniversary of Revolution' 1000 Gourdes Coin was issued to commemorate Haiti's tenth anniversary of the Haitian Revolution. The obverse commemorates the 60th birthday of Haitian President, François Duvalier.
Please Note: that this coin exhibits some scratches.
Dr. François Duvalier was a significant individual in Haitian history, holding the presidency from 1957 to 1971. Referred to as "Papa Doc," his leadership was characterised by strong authoritarian control, leaving a lasting impact on Haiti's political career.
Although Haitian pattern gold coins were issued between 1814 and 1854, its gold coinage issue did not begin until 1967, when five different denominations were issued, from 20 gourdes to 1,000 gourdes, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of one of its revolutions.
Haiti gained independence on January 1, 1804, becoming the first country in Latin America and the Caribbean to do so. It was achieved after a successful slave revolt against French colonial rule.
The obverse features a left facing portrait of the Haitian Life President "Papa Doc" Duvalier, wearing spectacles with the figures 60 in a wreath to his right. The legends, in two concentric circles, read:
REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI
