Juan Pablo Duarte, one of the three founding fathers of Dominican independence in 1844, spent much of his adult life in exile — expelled by the very republic he helped create after rivals outmaneuvered him politically within months of liberation from Haiti. He died in Caracas in 1876, essentially forgotten by the government he founded. His rehabilitation into national iconography came gradually, and by the 1970s his face had become standard on small-denomination coinage under Joaquín Balaguer's administration.
