The ABNCo series for the Dominican Republic in this period was printed under the Trujillo dictatorship, which maintained tight control over the currency's imagery and symbolism as part of a broader personality cult that touched every instrument of state. Rafael Trujillo had renamed Santo Domingo "Ciudad Trujillo" in 1936, and that name appears on notes of this era — a detail that makes post-1961 issues, following his assassination in May of that year, immediately distinguishable by the restored toponym.

The P#71 series spans the final years of the regime. Notes issued closest to 1961 can occasionally be found with Ciudad Trujillo still on the face, making the precise issue date more than a formality.
