The Banco Central de la República Dominicana issued this note in the immediate aftermath of Rafael Trujillo's assassination in May 1961 — a period of profound institutional instability during which the country's currency arrangements were themselves being renegotiated. The 100 Pesos Oro was among the higher denominations in circulation during the transitional government's effort to normalize banking functions before the 1963 elections that briefly brought Juan Bosch to power.
ABNC's engraved work for Dominican issues of this period is among the finer examples of mid-century intaglio banknote printing from their New York operation, though the P#96 series is often found with oxidation spotting along the edges — a known susceptibility of the paper stock used across several ABNC Caribbean commissions of the same years.
