Wikipedia comments, "The first gourde was introduced in 1813 and replaced the livre at a rate of G1 = 8 livres and 5 sous. The first issues of coins were silver pieces of 6, 12, and 25 centimes. In 1827, 50¢ and 100¢ coins were introduced, followed by 1¢ and 2¢ in 1828. In 1846 and 1850, 6¼¢ coins were issued as well as 6¢ coins. In 1863, bronze coins, produced by the Heaton mint of Birmingham, were issued. These were in denominations of 5¢, 10¢ and 20¢ and were the last coins of the first gourde. The governments of Haiti issued paper money in denominations of G1, G2, G5, G10, G20, G25, G50, G100, G500, and G1,000. In 1870 the gourde was revalued at a rate of ten to one. Only banknotes were issued for this second gourde, with the government issuing notes of G10 and G25. In 1872, the gourde was again revalued, this time at a rate of three hundred to one. In the early years of this third gourde, only banknotes were being issued and the name piastre was sometimes used instead of gourde, especially on a banknote issue dated 1875. In 1881, the gourde was linked to the French franc at 5F = G1 and coin production recommenced."
