| Beschrijving voorzijde | A typeset letterpress layout enclosed within a double-ruled border, centred at the top by the Haitian national coat of arms flanked by the republican mottoes "Liberté" and "Égalité". The denomination "10 Gs." occupies a boxed cartouche at centre, above a French-language legal text citing the law of 16 April 1827 and affirming the Treasury's guarantee of value to the bearer. "RÉPUBLIQUE D'HAÏTI" is inscribed vertically along the left margin, "Dix Gourdes" along the right, with manuscript signature provisions for the Président de la Chambre des Comptes, the Trésorier Général, and the Secrétaire d'État des Finances. |

| Opmerkingen |
Haiti's earliest paper currency issues were born from fiscal desperation. The newly independent state had signed the 1825 indemnity agreement with France — committing to 150 million francs in reparations to compensate former colonists — and internal finance was in ruins. The 1827 notes were part of a short-lived experiment in domestic paper emission under President Boyer, attempting to manage a treasury that had essentially no functioning base.
The series failed quickly. Public confidence in government paper was nearly nonexistent, and the notes were withdrawn within a few years. Survivors are genuinely rare, and the Pick catalog entry remains thin on printing details — the source press has not been conclusively documented.
