| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the centennial of Dominican independence — though that independence, first declared in 1844, had a complicated early history of annexation attempts and foreign occupation that made the century mark genuinely hard-won. The piece was struck in a limited commemorative run under the Balaguer government, a period when the Central Bank was actively using high-value silver issues to generate foreign exchange as much as national prestige.
