| 正面描述 | The obverse is printed in black on white paper within a plain rectangular border, with the text REPUBLICA DOMINICANA across the upper portion flanking a central vignette of the Dominican coat of arms — a shield with a cross, flanked by laurel and palm branches beneath a ribbon inscribed DIOS PATRIA LIBERTAD. A central text block in Spanish states the note circulates for the value of UN PESO, issued in Santo Domingo on 28 July 1844, payable by the Erario Público; the denomination UN PESO is also printed vertically along the left margin. The series designation, registration number, and manuscript signatures of El Secretario appear in the lower portion, with La Comisión de Hacienda cited as the issuing authority. |

The Comisión de Hacienda notes of 1844 are among the earliest paper currency issued following Dominican independence, declared in February of that year. The commission was a provisional financial body — not a central bank — hastily assembled to provide a circulating medium after the break from Haitian rule. Haiti had suppressed Dominican monetary institutions entirely, so there was no existing framework to build on.
Printed locally in Santo Domingo rather than through a European security printer, the production quality reflects those constraints. Local printing in 1844 meant limited press capacity and no intaglio engraving — these notes are typographically simple by any measure, and genuine examples show it.
Survival rate is extremely low. The new government's financial situation deteriorated quickly, and most of this issue was either worn out in rapid circulation or lost to the political instability that followed.
