| Additional information |
The 1979 International Year of the Child prompted a wave of commemorative coinage across Latin America, and the Dominican Republic was among the later issuers to act on it — this 1982 piece arriving three years after the UN designation itself. The delay was not unusual; many nations stretched IYC commemorative programs well into the early 1980s as minting agreements and authorization processes lagged behind the original calendar.
KM#58 was struck in limited numbers for the collector market and saw no meaningful circulation.
