See "Foreign Coins Struck at United States Mints" by Charles G. Altz and E. H. Barton (1965), page 22.This also applies to the other 1897 A coins of the Dominican Republic.
According to official U.S. mint records, 302,404 were minted in from 1896-1897; 251,066 were minted from 1897-1898; and 906,089 were minted from 1898-1899.
