Dominican Republic Banknotes

The Dominican gold peso has a curious name: it has been called that since 1937, when it was defined as being backed by gold, and the label remained even though the standard disappeared decades ago. It is one of the few cases in which a currency preserves in its name an extinct monetary system.

Who appears on them

The three founding fathers—Duarte, Sánchez, and Mella—are on the lower denominations. On the reverses, the Altar of the Fatherland, the Primatial Cathedral of America—the oldest on the continent—and the Columbus Lighthouse. The Mirabal sisters appear on the 200 bill, one of the few in the world dedicated to victims of a dictatorship.

Issues that are no longer available

Banknotes from before the Central Bank reform and issues with the "silver" overprint are significantly less common, and their price does not always reflect this yet.

What you will find here
