| Comments |
The "Oro" denomination suffix had no practical meaning by the time this series was printing — the Dominican Republic had abandoned any gold convertibility decades earlier, and the peso oro was simply the country's fiat currency unit by another name. The designation persisted on notes well into the 1980s through institutional inertia rather than monetary policy.
Three distinct signature combinations across a decade-long run make date attribution straightforward when the printed year is unclear or absent — Eduardo Fernández Pichardo's pairing with Bolívar Báez Ortiz covers only the 1980–1982 issues, a useful diagnostic for collectors working with worn examples.
