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.

This note unofficially commemorates that date. ���������������������������������������������������� Est. $200-325 Honduras 236 236 Vale al Portador, Billete del Tesoro, 1889 Issue Banknote Rarity.
