Additional information

Haiti's transition from solid nickel to nickel-clad steel for this denomination in 1995 was a straightforward cost-reduction measure, part of a broader pattern across Caribbean and Latin American mints during the 1990s as nickel prices made solid-alloy coinage economically untenable for low-value pieces. The country was simultaneously navigating the aftermath of the 1991 coup against Aristide and the crippling OAS trade embargo, conditions that compressed the central bank's operational budget considerably.

The clad transition is logged under KM#152a to distinguish it from the earlier nickel composition of KM#152.
