| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Dominican Republic's national coat of arms at center, comprising a quartered shield bearing a cross, open Bible, and crossed lances and flags, all rendered in fine detail. The shield is flanked on the left by an olive branch and on the right by a palm frond, both extending vertically. A ribbon above the shield carries the national motto DIOS PATRIA LIBERTAD in raised Latin letters, while a second scrolled ribbon below bears the legend REPUBLICA DOMINICANA. The overall composition is engraved in a formal heraldic style with finely modeled relief against a polished field. |
