| Comments |
The Dominican Republic's relationship with Thomas De La Rue stretches across multiple decades of the twentieth century, and this series — running across 1975 and 1976 — was produced during a period of relative monetary stability under the Balaguer government, when the peso oro maintained rough parity with the US dollar. That parity would not survive the 1980s.
The "with date" designation in the Pick catalog distinguishes this issue from otherwise identical notes that lack a printed date — a small but catalogically meaningful difference, since undated examples of the same design circulated concurrently.
