| Comments |
The Banco Central de la República Dominicana was itself only established in 1947, making this note part of the institution's inaugural series — the first issues ever produced under a true central bank framework after decades of currency chaos and foreign financial intervention, including the long shadow of the 1905 U.S. customs receivership. At the 1000 Pesos Oro level, this was the highest denomination in that founding series, unlikely to have moved through ordinary hands.
ABNC produced the plates in New York, as they did for much of Latin American sovereign paper in this period. Surviving examples are scarce; Trujillo-era high denominations rarely escaped destruction through redemption cycles.
