| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Dominican Republic is displayed at center, featuring a quartered shield supported by a laurel branch on the left and a palm branch on the right, tied at the base with a ribbon. The shield bears a central Bible beneath a cross, with national flags in each quarter. Above the shield, a ribbon carries the national motto in three segments. The legend REPUBLICA DOMINICANA appears on a curved ribbon below the arms, all rendered in high relief against a flat field. |

| Additional information |
The VIII Central American and Caribbean Games were held in Santo Domingo in 1974 — the first time the Dominican Republic had hosted the event. The Banco Central issued this gold piece to coincide with the games, part of a broader regional tradition of commemorative coinage tied to athletic competitions that had been building since the games' founding in 1926.
The .900 fine gold specification places it squarely in the older Latin monetary tradition rather than the .999 fine issues that would become standard for commemorative bullion in later decades.
