Haiti is the world’s oldest Black Republic, having achieved independence from France in 1804.

The 50, 20 and 5 Centimes portray Charlemagne Peralte, who led a guerilla movement against the United States occupation of Haiti during World War I.  The obverse of each coin features the Haitian arms which includes cannons, guns, flags and a palm tree.  The coins date from 1991 to 2007 and are Uncirculated.
