Haiti, 1986. 2 Gourdes, P-231A, Printed on Polymer Tyvek paper, Banknote with Red Overprint crossing out the face of President Duvalier at center with date of "7 Fev. 1986" overprinted on note representing the end of dictorial rule in Haiti when Duvalier was removed from office. S/N S784506. Printer: ABNC. The presidency was handed over to Duvalier in 1971 at the tender age of 19. While the younger Duvalier attempted to make amends for some of his father’s wrongdoings, he eventually turned into a greedy and absent dictator, allowing Haiti to fall apart as he embezzled large amounts of government money. After 15 years in power, a popular uprising forced Jean-Claude Duvalier to flee to France on February 7th, 1986. This note unofficially commemorates that date.
