Interesting fact

The 1 Centavo coin from the Dominican Republic features a unique design that reflects the country's rich history and culture. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a palm tree, which is a symbol of peace and prosperity in the Dominican Republic. On the other side, there is an image of a shield with the country's coat of arms, which includes a Bible, a cross, and a lighthouse, representing the country's strong Christian values and commitment to guidance and illumination. The coin's design was created by the Dominican artist, José de Jesús García, and it has remained largely unchanged since its introduction in 1978.
