| Additional information |
Haiti's 1977 foreign-exchange coinage was produced almost entirely for export, not domestic circulation. The Duvalier government contracted Franklin Mint to strike a series of collector issues aimed at generating hard currency — a practice common among cash-strapped states during the 1970s collector coin boom. This piece belongs to that program, tied nominally to the UN human rights agenda at a moment when Haiti's own human rights record under Jean-Claude Duvalier was attracting sustained international criticism.
