| Additional information |
Haiti issued this piece ahead of the 1974 FIFA World Cup held in West Germany — notable because Haiti actually qualified for that tournament, their only World Cup appearance to date. The squad's run through CONCACAF qualification was considered a major upset, and the government moved quickly to capitalize on it with commemorative silver issues. Haiti's lone group-stage appearance ended with a 3-1 loss to Italy, during which forward Emmanuel Sanon scored past Dino Zoff, ending the Italian goalkeeper's record scoreless streak of 1,143 international minutes.
