The Banco Central de la República Dominicana was barely a decade old when this note was issued — established in 1947, it replaced the currency board arrangement that had operated under the close supervision of U.S. financial interests since the 1905 customs receivership. The "Oro" designation was not decorative; it reflected a legal peg to gold that the Dominican Republic maintained formally through the Trujillo period and into the early 1960s.
Trujillo himself had been assassinated in May 1961, and 1962 fell squarely in the turbulent interregnum before Bosch's election. That political instability makes the continued functioning of the central bank's printing program — through ABNC in New York — something worth noting.
