| Additional information |
Haiti's bicentennial gold issue for the United States arrived at a particularly awkward diplomatic moment — François "Baby Doc" Duvalier had inherited power from his father just three years earlier, and the Haitian government was actively cultivating American goodwill while its human rights record drew increasing scrutiny in Washington. The commission of a commemorative celebrating American independence was, in part, a calculated gesture toward that relationship.
The KM#118.1 and 118.2 variants differ in their edge treatment and mintmark details — a small distinction that affects collector value more than it might initially suggest.
