Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the Dominican Republic. The country had recently gained independence from Spain in 1804, but it was quickly followed by a period of political instability and conflict, including a civil war that lasted from 1811 to 1814. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Dominican Republic continued to be produced, with the ¼ Real coin being one example of a coin that was minted during this time.
