Additional information

The Dominican Republic's copper-nickel coinage of this period was produced largely by the Canadian Royal Mint and later by the U.S. Mint under contract — the country lacked domestic minting infrastructure throughout the Trujillo era and the turbulent years that followed his 1961 assassination. The 1967–1974 window spans the presidencies of Joaquín Balaguer, whose first two terms saw relative monetary stability despite ongoing political violence and U.S. economic pressure following the 1965 intervention.

The shift to copper-nickel from the earlier silver-clad composition reflects the broader regional abandonment of precious-metal coinage that swept Latin America through the late 1960s.
