The 1971 Haiti 5 Gourdes “Haitian Beach” silver proof coin is a beautiful tropical-themed commemorative that captures the relaxed atmosphere and natural charm of the Caribbean coastline.

The obverse presents a peaceful Haitian beach scene framed by tall swaying palm trees. In the foreground, two figures walk together along the shoreline while beach chairs rest beneath the palms, creating a calm vacation atmosphere. In the distance, a sailboat glides across the water near the horizon, enhancing the tropical maritime setting. The composition is surrounded by inscriptions identifying the Republic of Haiti and the Haitian beach theme, all enclosed by a delicate beaded rim. The reverse displays Haiti’s national coat of arms featuring a central palm tree above crossed flags, cannons, drums, spears, military banners, anchors, and stacked weapons. The national motto appears on a ribbon across the center, while the denomination and date are boldly engraved below.

Struck in silver and certified PR64DCAM by PCGS, this coin displays attractive deep cameo contrast between frosted reliefs and reflective proof fields.
