| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dominican Republic's silver coinage of this period was minted almost entirely by the Philadelphia Mint under a series of contracts, a practical arrangement for a country without its own mint facility. These coins circulated through the Trujillo dictatorship's entire reign — the generalísimo had himself formally named "Benefactor of the Fatherland" by the national legislature in 1933, and the monetary system was restructured around that same period to project an image of stable, modern governance.
The series ran long enough to span two distinct political atmospheres: the height of Trujillo's power and the years immediately preceding his assassination in May 1961.
