| Obverse description | Two female figures in high relief are depicted facing each other in a symmetrical composition, their arms raised and hands jointly holding aloft a palm frond or laurel branch at the apex of the design. The figures are rendered in a graceful, idealized Art Deco-influenced style, their long hair flowing downward, set against a finely lined background. The curved legend REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI arcs around the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the inscription ANNEE DE LA FEMME appears in three lines across the lower central field, followed by the date 1975 at the base. |

| Additional information |
The 1975 International Women's Year coinage was a UN-sponsored initiative that prompted dozens of governments to issue commemoratives, most of them opportunistic revenue exercises dressed up as policy statements. Haiti was among the more prolific participants, producing multiple denominations in gold through the Banque Nationale at a moment when the Duvalier government — Jean-Claude having inherited power from his father in 1971 — actively courted foreign currency through collector coin programs.
KM#125 is the smallest gold denomination in the Haitian IWY set. Struck in a limited proof format primarily for export sale, these pieces saw no domestic circulation.
