| Additional information |
The Iglesia de Bánica is one of the oldest colonial-era churches in the Dominican Republic, located in the remote western province of Elías Piña near the Haitian border — a region historically significant as one of the earliest Spanish settlements on Hispaniola. The year 2000 issue belongs to a broader Dominican commemorative gold program celebrating national heritage sites, though Bánica itself remains obscure even within Dominican historiography.
The .9999 fine specification places this among the purest gold issues of the series.
