Haiti 50 gourdes Woman with Shell Mark Left KM-104.1 PF 66 NGC silver coin 1973

The 1973 Haiti 50 Gourdes “Woman with Shell” silver proof coin is one of the most elegant tropical-themed issues produced by the Republic of Haiti during the golden era of Caribbean commemorative coinage. Combining artistic beauty with fine silver craftsmanship, this coin captures the romantic atmosphere of island life and the natural connection between the sea and Haitian coastal culture. Its refined engraving and mirrored proof surfaces make it especially desirable among collectors of exotic world silver coins.

The obverse presents a graceful young woman standing beside the shoreline while holding a large seashell close to her lips. Her flowing hair, shell-inspired garment, and serene expression create a striking image of tropical femininity and ocean symbolism. Behind her, calm sea waters and small palm trees complete the peaceful Caribbean beach landscape. The reverse features the Haitian coat of arms with a central palm tree rising above crossed flags, cannons, spears, drums, anchors, and military trophies. The national motto appears across a ribbon beneath the arms, while the denomination and date are framed by a decorative beaded border. The contrast between the frosted relief and reflective fields gives the coin exceptional visual depth.

Struck in .925 silver with a beautiful Proof finish, this example is certified PF66 by NGC. The coin belongs to a celebrated series of Haitian artistic commemoratives known for their unusual themes and outstanding engraving quality. Its combination of tropical scenery, feminine imagery, and national symbolism makes it an appealing addition to any world coin collection.
