100 Pesos Enriquillo

The Enriquillo series was issued to commemorate the Taíno cacique who led a sustained guerrilla resistance against Spanish colonial forces in the mountains of Hispaniola from roughly 1519 until a negotiated peace in 1533 — one of the few instances in early Caribbean history where indigenous resistance extracted formal concessions from the Crown. The 1980 release coincided with a period of nationalistic numismatic programming under the Banco Central, which issued several gold pieces tied to Dominican historical figures during this era.

At a troy ounce of .999 fine gold, the piece tracks closely to bullion value, though the X# designation confirms it outside the standard circulation series entirely.
