| Comments |
The Comisión de Hacienda notes of 1867 were emergency fiscal instruments issued during one of the most unstable periods in Dominican history — the years immediately following the collapse of the Annexation to Spain (1861–1865) and the subsequent restoration of the republic, which left the government treasury essentially empty. The Comisión was a temporary administrative body, not a proper central bank, and its authority to issue circulating paper was legally dubious from the start.
The 40 Centavos Fuertes denomination is among the scarcer values in the P#38 series. Redemption was never properly organized, and surviving examples have turned up almost exclusively in archival lots rather than through circulation finds.
