Haitian livre

Haitian livre

The livre was the currency of Haiti until 1813. It was equal to the French livre and was subdivided into 20 sous, each of 12 deniers. The "escalin" of 15 sous was also used as a denomination, since it was equal to the Spanish colonial real. Coins specifically for use in Haiti were issued between 1802 and 1809, along with various overstamped coins.

The livre was replaced by the Haitian gourde in 1813, at a rate of 1 gourde = 8 livre 5 sous (11 escalin).
