| Additional information |
Haiti's bicentennial commemorative series for the United States was struck during the Duvalier years — specifically the early presidency of Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, who had inherited power from his father François in 1971. The Haitian government issued several denominations tied to the American celebration, a calculated move to attract hard currency from foreign collectors rather than any gesture of inter-American solidarity. The coins were never intended for domestic circulation.
KM#112 was produced across a three-year window spanning the actual bicentennial year, typical of collector-market issues from this period where mintage was stretched to maximize sales.
