| Obverse description | The Dominican Republic national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a cross, flanked by crossed lances and an open Bible, supported by a laurel branch to the left and a palm branch to the right. A scroll above the shield bears the national motto DIOS PATRIA LIBERTAD, while a ribbon below carries the legend REPUBLICA DOMINICANA. The date 1977 appears in the lower field beneath the arms, accompanied by the mintmaster initials R·A to the right. |

| Additional information |
This issue commemorates Juan Pablo Duarte, one of the three founding fathers of Dominican independence from Haitian rule in 1844. The 1977 date places it squarely within the Balaguer administration's second extended period in power, a government that made conspicuous use of nationalist commemoratives as political currency. The .800 fineness is notably below the .900 gold standard common to most contemporary Latin American commemorative issues — a cost-driven compromise that does not appear to have been publicly highlighted at the time of issue.
