| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by an intaglio architectural vignette of the Banco Central de la República Dominicana headquarters building in Santo Domingo, rendered in fine line engraving at centre, with a secondary view of an adjacent building visible to the right. The issuer's name is inscribed across the top in dark green letterpress against a teal and light-green guilloche underprint, with large denomination numerals at lower left and upper right; mirror-image latent 'BCRD' letters appear at upper right as an additional security element. |

De La Rue relocated its primary banknote manufacturing operation to Gateshead from Basingstoke in the early 2000s, and this note is a product of that facility during a period when the Dominican central bank was steadily upgrading its security specifications across the entire peso dominicano series. The 500-peso denomination sits at the upper end of everyday circulation use in the Dominican Republic, making it a practical target for counterfeiting — the see-through register and embedded security thread address that directly.
Pick 195 is one of several parallel issues from this period distinguished primarily by date, with relatively minor specification changes between runs.
