Interesting fact
The Pattern 2½ Centavos (Essai) 1887 from Dominican Republic is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the administration of President Ulises Heureaux, who was facing opposition from various political factions and was struggling to maintain stability in the country. Despite these challenges, the coin still features a beautiful design, with the national emblem of the Dominican Republic on one side and the denomination on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, providing a glimpse into the complex political and economic climate of the Dominican Republic during the late 19th century.
