10 Pesos Capilla de San Andrés

Issued as part of a Dominican commemorative series documenting the country's colonial religious architecture, this piece honors the Capilla de San Andrés, one of the earliest Christian chapels constructed in the Americas. The chapel dates to the sixteenth century and stands in the Cibao region, its survival through centuries of earthquakes, hurricanes, and political upheaval making it an unusually durable remnant of early Spanish colonial presence on Hispaniola.

The .999 fine silver specification at this weight places it firmly in the small-format commemorative category — produced for collectors rather than circulation, with mintages kept deliberately limited.
