| Comments |
The Junta de Crédito was a short-lived Dominican fiscal body established to manage the country's finances during an exceptionally unstable period — 1865 was the year Spanish colonial rule formally ended following the War of Restoration, leaving the new republic with an exhausted treasury and almost no functioning monetary infrastructure. These small fractional notes were an emergency measure, not a considered monetary policy.
P#28 is among the rarer survivors of that series. The political disorder that immediately followed the Spanish withdrawal made systematic redemption or organized destruction unlikely, yet institutional collapse is equally hard on paper currency.
