Interesting fact
The 25 Centavos coin featuring the Mirabal Sisters from the Dominican Republic has a unique design, with the three sisters depicted on the obverse side and the national coat of arms on the reverse. This coin was minted from 1983 to 1987 and was made of copper-nickel, weighing 6.25 grams. It's interesting to note that the Mirabal Sisters were a symbol of resistance against the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961. The sisters were known as "Las Mariposas" (The Butterflies) and were brutally murdered in 1960 for their activism. The coin serves as a reminder of their courage and sacrifice for the country's freedom.
